[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a newbie. can someone explain to me what the turtles are? I Read a lot abot them but dont see them listed as a LI club on the right. Thanks
Does anybody really know what the relationship is between the turtles and the Express? What does the Express get out of "the relationship" and what do the Turtles get out of it?
Still doesn't explain exactly what the relationship is between the Express and Turtles. Turtles seem to function completely seperately from the rest of the Express. Do they even show up to the Express organizational meeting that all other express teams attend to pay, be fitted for uniforms, be told what the tournament schedule is etc...? I'd really like somebody to explain what the association is. Just curious but it seems odd. I really don't see the benefit for either party and why the Turtles seem to operate independently unlike any other express team in any other grade if they really are part of the Express. What's the deal?
Why do you care so much. I think the question has been answered like 5 times on this thread...move on to the 91 website...
You obviously don't have an answer or at least not one that you can articulate very well. I think you should move on.
you started this conversation saying you were a newbie but your follow posts imply that you are asking a question you already know the answer to. I am not involved in the Turtles but it seems like your question has been answered.
Many organizations have teams within the organization that have similar set ups. They play under the organizations banner but really operate completely independently, The turtles seem to be very separate, They wear their own uniforms, not sure if any money goes through the express (who cares) but at the end of the day if they win a tournament the picture goes up on the Express web site and in turn the Express buys all their stuff from lacrosse unlimited so it seems that they are better together then they would be apart.
Now that the Turtles are established maybe they don't need the Express but in the beginning the Express name gave them some credibility and the Turtles coach is keeping the affiliation out of appreciation and loyalty (something you don't usually associate with club lacrosse)
Maybe the Turtles started as a town team and the coach wanted to break away from the town team and some weaker players and to not offend anybody went to Express and set it up through them rather then be an independent team and have the town folk upset at him.
I am most interested in why you care so much about this private team playing for this private organization?
