Their 2020 B team went 0-3 and their 2023 team went 0-2-1. You can see it on tourney machine. Its too early to tell anything about LIENorth yet. The first tournament for their 2020-2022 teams is next week at the Halloween Havoc. We'll get a better feel for the caliber of middle school players in this organization during the next two weeks. I think some expected this organization to be the second coming given the success of their 2018 team, but the 2018 team wasn't a product of LIENorth. It was started by Superstar and moved to LIENorth. Don't know the exact story behind it. Only time will tell. I wish them luck and hope they play some of the other Westchester/CT teams. We need more local tournaments/scrimmages.

Anonymous Unregistered A	Originally Posted by Anonymous 2018 Express North has always had the same coaching staff. Those are the people who are driving the broader Express North program. Superstar (good club in their own right) had little/nothing to do with success of Express North 2018 team. I suspect Express North will continue to be a highly competitive program overall in the years to come. A good number of the players never even played for Superstar so it's true that Superstar had nothing to do with the success of the program. They used the name with permission of the director of Superstar but he didn't do anything with or for the program.

They have A and B. A divisions generally have some legit teams but there is a precipitous drop in quality of the B divisions. I'm not taking anything away from the winners. As big as lax is on LI, there is still a massive amount of expansion so there are a large number of teams that are 1-2 years old. Staying competitive with those teams is a benchmark of success for northern teams.

Anonymous Unregistered A	AA = A A = B People use that method so they can sell the program as not having a "B" team. No one wants to tell people their kid is on the "B" team and that is a problem. It's ok to have "B" teams, and it is also OK to play "B" lacrosse if that is the level you are currently at. Why we need to try to justify a lower level team is beyond me. USA Hockey has AAA, AA, and A tiers, but that isn't the case in lacrosse, so program directors are doing their best to make this their model. Now a kid can choose program 1 because they gave him a spot on the "A" team over team 2 which gave him a spot on the "B" team, even though they are the same level. I coach HS and club lacrosse. I played college lacrosse. My son isn't old enough to play organized yet but I check this site because my parents brought it to my attention and I wanted to see the madness for myself. If my son decides to play lacrosse, I will pay for the team that he makes and deserves to be on. The team that he is comfortable on. The team he is excited to wake up and go to. If he is the best kid in the B bracket I will say that proudly. If he is a third line middie on the A team I will say that proudly (if asked). If he decides he doesn't like lacrosse anymore, I will say that proudly.

It's okay you wouldn't be the first nor the last. noone know what the future holds. Good luck on your ride.

Primetime had a monopoly in the area. As an example. They were unable to field a 4th grade squad this year. Again. Sad. But reality
