Re: Tryouts Anonymous #180006 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A Don't know about 2024 and maybe they do cut kids but Express not only has no cuts but if you sign up and don't attend tryouts they will automatically place you on the "B" team and if they have a "C" team they will place you there. I have never heard of anyone getting cut from express and I have been around for years. Do your homework before you sign up for any team. Good luck.

Re: Tryouts Anonymous #180050 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A our experience has been that no matter where my daughter has played she is always treated differently with regard to playing time, instruction, etc... than the team's coaches/ club directors home town players and there friends. Has anyone's had a better experience they are willing to share? Please no nasty responses. Like Reply Quote

I guess you haven't talked to their parents. kids on certain teams jumped ship and coaches who get 3-5 penalties a game for yelling at the refs. 365 takes kids from other programs and plays in just 1-3 tourneys and then they take credit for the kids who commit.

Even though it's certainly not all about wins and losses, it can't be much fun getting shellacked all summer like the Bluefish teams other than their 2019 did this summer. Like Reply Quote

A few people said they would like to see more practices but I was good with what they did. The winter crossfit indoor training was fun for my kid. The kids got along well, no parent drama, they played great. He will be at this Saturdays tryouts. Good luck Like Reply Quote

Exactly what you get from day one is very few practices and a hodge podge of tournaments some of which saw their teams losing by 12-13 goals. It is a new organization so give them time. However, the truth is they have a long way to go. The picked up a bunch of good 2019s but the other teams were nothing special at all. Again, new organization so time will tell. Like Reply Quote

Re: Tryouts Ranger12 #180237 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A I think the bluefish directors get it. popped up kind of late last year, at least on my radar or we would have tried out. I have a 2019, they brought over a existing team that is why they had some success. Powers, Tierney and Allen all get the club scene and how to work it. I think they will have more success this year with the earlier tryouts and a year to see what they have. Like Reply Quote

The only thing they get is that they can make money by having a bunch of B, C and D level teams. Tierney should worry about getting the college team he coaches into the playoffs which hasn't done in a very long time. Like Reply Quote

Re: Tryouts Ranger12 #180314 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A what does started the club scene mean? i know one of them started the Express, but tierney was a 9d1 guy first. GC is not a bad town to take a chance on. I thought their tryouts were very good last year, 2020 was well attended.. maybe by a lot of kids who were already on other teams, but it was still a great tryout. I would bet on these guys before betting on some of the other options in NC. Like Reply Quote
