[quote=Anonymous]Are the teams set for Express AA, A, 91, Igloo A, B and Outlaws As, A, B? [/q

No such thing as AA. Not sure what As is?

Teams have A and sometimes A and B.

If you can play on Express, 91, Igloo, fl$ or Team Long Island A team, you should. As boys getting older and will start recruiting soon, I would stay away from second teams in an organization.

It comes down to the coach and his commitment to the team. There are Lotsa of examples of 2nd teams that are great and some not so great, we all know that. Get a dedicated coach and you'll be happy. So don't stay away, call the coach, get his plan,ec. Ask all the questions up front and the decide.

Your B team coach can be committed, but good luck getting organization to get your team in the Philly showcase or adrenaline. Or getting players individual invites to showtime or jake reed. That is where you will have problems. You have another year before you need to worry about that, but get yourself on an A team if you are a player who thinks they can be recruited early.

Not entirely true. Clubs have connections that some do not. Also you can't club hop to say you're on an A team because a 2nd team you have concerns over. Do the research, ask the questions, call the coach, call the director. If your son gets good coaching and plays at a level that challenges him, you'll be fine.

Express tryouts today, let's see the drama!

Playing on those teams and not being player 1-15 is a waste of time. Better off getting pt and improving.

You havever to club hop. They change players and coaches every year so if your looking to improve your situation you must change teams!

Tryouts are over. Who would you pick? United with Coach Campbell (RC) or Exp A Channy?

Were you dropped on your head recently ? A team or B team. RC great coach but Express is top team.

You saying United is A team and Smash is B?

Depends on the kind of kid u have. Lean towards United

The better coach will make your son better. A, B, best team is all eye wash.

United will be a solid team, this year as well as the elite team that was put together. Outlaws upgraded supposedly. Igloo upgraded too apparently. How do you know express is the top team?

any opinions on the Mike Winkoff teams?

They do a great job and play top competition. I think they already had tryouts ??

Winkoff team will be most improved- will compete hard with the best. Kids from GC, Huntington, CSH came aboard.

Exp A and its not even that close. You shouldn't waste time thinking about it. United is not the same team, they are just keeping the name and that's about it. United will not compete with any of the top clubs as they have done in the past. They are a true B team now.

What team does he coach?

That not true. Teams were picked before tryouts. They were trying to get a few pieces to replace some weaker kids from last year. I heard some kids never even tried out and were put on the select team. I think that's criminal to take peoples money knowing they will not make top team.

He coached 2022 last year. they change coaches every year.

Every year. They do secret practices with new kids. Absolutely promise them spots. It is amazing people bring this up every year and seem surprised.

I think the new names are Elite and United. I personally Liked "Smash these United Nutz" better.

Elite team is going to be very solid. I think it is made up of half United and half Smash Kids and a couple of new kids. They are going to be strong at every position and I am guessing they will be the team to beat this year and the favorite to win the WSYL.

With regards to United or Channy. It depends, if you are one of Channy's favorites and plays than stay with Channy. If you are not one of the top 15 players on Channy's team don't expect to play in tight games. Then I would go to United.

There was kids switching teams this year but not as much as I expected. Igloo and Outlaws got better. I don't know about express, but if they lost the big lefty to a Texas team then they took a step back.

Looking forward to another great year at this age group. Best of luck to all the players

That comment was for Outlaws not Express.

Winkoff is a crook just like the others. He'll take your tryout money but make a deal with certain towns and cut kids who have been on the team.

FFFF Elll Gee

It's not a crime when YOU are handing them the $$$

How many kids from GC. A kids? Was told they were staying together again next year

Yes A. Bunch at tryout.

Just two smaller guys went to fl$. Bulk of team staying together.

Son Corey coaching 2022 Winkoff team- former captain U Penn

Has anyone received a call from True Blue yet ...

Sour grapes. First class organization.

Why would you

Has anyone received a calls from True Blue yet

Yes, the voice was a heavy Long island accent.

First class organization? They don't even have the decency to call repeat players that didn't make the team again and tell them they didn't make it Bs first class organization- more like disgusting moneymaker

Who cares about True Blue?

Express A. 91 trying too hard to create that top team. United was all the hype last year. The team fell apart. Both 91 coaches screaming and basically losing it last year during tournaments. They are holding on too tight.
