If you make and play for an Express or Team 91 "B" or a "C" team---the players who are mediocre feel like they hit the lottery because they're now playing for the Express or Team 91---in reality the training they receive is far inferior to the vaunted "A" team. You're lucky if little Johnny gets two coaches at all practices when most teams including the "A" teams get 3 or 4. Typically one coach will train 25 players on an Express B or C team. Every week the gate opens and players leave and new players are added as each spot on the team is a $1,400+ to the bottom line proposition. At the end of the summer the parents and players wake up and realize they were just duped and now they're out the ridiculous tryout fees (which is a moneymaking scam)+$1,400 plus the additional training dollars charged by channen"check" and the others. On top of that you'll pay to have little Johnny play in the channen"check" tournaments ($75 each x 25 kids) and the Oyster Bay Lacrosse League ($225 x 25 kids)---with each one come the standard channen"check" fees. This is A MONEY MAKING ENTERPRISE looking out for the bottom line, not the KIDS. Nothing more, nothing less. Wake up people and realize----if your son or daughter doesn't make the Express "A" team you may as well play for another decent team who will provide solid coaching and opportunity for little Johnny to actually learn and lay the game of lacrosse. When people start doing that the Express and Team 91 will no longer be able to operate in their monopolistic, money before everything else while we "sell the kids and the parents their dreams" manner. |
