Totally understand your dilemma Express parent. It depends what age your kid is currently but in general, you want to get in on the ground floor of the top programs because it’s harder to get in as they get older. You don’t have to be in a top club but those clubs usually have the connections and pipeline to the better colleges

So it depends what you be goal is:
Recruiting to a top college? It will be easier from a “known” club”. There are exception from lesser known clubs but those too clubs are establishing solid pipelines to colleges.

Recruiting to “any” college? Then it doesn’t matter who you play for but being at a top named club will open more doors but anyone can play lacrosse from any club if the college doesn’t matter

Playing time? Playing time is important and necessary to get recruited. But some kids don’t care about that and just want to have fun with friends

Winning? Winning is not important especially in high school club ball. Colleges don’t care about your win loss record.

Practices? Seemed to mean much less and less to my kids in high school. Attendance was sparse by junior year

Express is a machine and a business first and foremost. They are a tournament focused club which means they play in the best tournaments. But they are not a practiced based club which never bothered us in high school. But they are a decent recruiting club (especially if your kid is a student) so if that is your goal, it may be best to stay with them. You could jump ship but the grass is not always greener and you will trade off some of the above listed variables. Find out what is mort important to your kid.
