How good of a team is Express 2022 B team? Any insight? Thank you.

There are 4 teams. Channy, Chuck's, Schwaije and O'Reilly

Yup
AA - Channy
A - Schwalji
B+ - Chuck
B - Orielly

All good teams

Dukes is a proven path just ask Hopkins coach Pietramala. He plays his kid there.

Yes that's what I heard.

Keep dreaming sad Dad

With your idiotic logic, it can be said that Igloo "got waxed" by Primetime in Denver. By the way, what is your definition of getting waxed? Would losing 7-10 be considered that? For most rational people, that would be seen as a competitive game. You need to get a clue. The tops teams are all great, with many talented players. And as far as 91 being the best team in the future because of the addition of one player, that is totally premature. No one player will make any team the best team. There are many key positions that contribute to a great and balanced team.

You think Channy is putting his name on a B+Team, even Lynott??These guys produce D1 All Americans, so just stop! Not to mention 3 teams, NOT 4! Sorry you didn't get the email! Either way? Over 100 QUALITY kids at the tryout, easy to fill an AA(that's not changing) and add 2 "A's"! The summer will tell what they created!

Can anybody give me a run down on the Turtles?

As of right now there are 4 teams. Chucks snd Schwalje are both B teams. How can you say they are A teams when the teams teams aren't fully committed and they haven't played anyone. No team is A until they prove there an A team. Whatever makes you feel better...

I've been with Express for years, just calling it how it is... both teams are B and don't be surprised when more kids are added to the roster that aren't considered A or B.

Obviously you've never seen that one player out on the field. He makes your chosen Manhasset ones look like pee wees talent wise. But remember in seventh grade you were wsyl champs. Lol. Then couldn't get out of the first round of the playoffs in a real tournament. Igloo, 91 then express. Its ok. And by the way how did that absolute beat down by the dukes feel. Shines off boys.

They have 4 quality teams and 4 quality coaching staffs for each, so just stop! If the kids get quality instruction and improve, all good.

There is a definite pecking order as this is not PAL.

You are correct, you can't say what a new team, whom has not played together is going to turnout to be. Look what happened over at 9D1 with the Superteam, not so super.

You are further correct, its August! Rosters will change and change again in the spring. This is not just Express, happens in all clubs.

If you want to access potential of the teams:

2022 Channy - Unchanged AA
2022 Chucks - B+ to A potential
2022 Schwalje- B to A potential
2022 O'Reilly - doubt it will form due to lack of players. Can Express capture 100 players at 2022? If so, - C to B potential

Don't worry in 3 years the turtles will be crushing everybody!

Your very bitter ! I was there my kid was playing trying to earn a spot on the Channy team. As previously stated Express did NOT have hardly any of the Channy kids there. It was mainly kids that were trying to move up the depth chart ! Ripping on Express for getting beat up when they weren't playing to win is ridiculous !!

Did anyone see that Lega$$y rescheduled the same day that 9D1 is holding tryouts? I thought it was an unwritten rule to not have a tryout same day as other clubs! Zummo and his ego will take a bigger hit than it did last year getting beat up all season long !

What are the turtles all about?

You are delusional. Everyone will see what happens. Good to be humbled once in a while. All part of development. Express still shines bright. Send us your number or email and we'll invite you to the ESPN2 replay of the championship game and the upcoming WSYL ring ceremony.

Channy 1st team
Schwalji 2nd team
Chucks is the 3rd team

There are plenty of teams that have tryouts on the same day . . .??

Funny how the only dad who is advocating the Schwalji the is the 2nd team, can't explain why in the world the 2nd team would not be coached by Channy and the best asst coaches!

ok show me???

Schwalji can be an A team and the Chuck can get there are well. Chuck is a lot of kids from the 2nd team from last with some new adds. Both will be good teams.

Do you get E-Mails from back of the cage - I get like 20 a day for upcoming tryouts, with many on the same days. Do your own homework.

Are you going to invite all 38 players or just the chosen 14 who never came off the field? Probably should have trusted your bench more you wouldn't have lost in the first round in Md. At the real championship. Maybe next time you won't be embarrassed by the dukes also. And by the way channy always plays to win. Dukes were in a different class though. Oh well. Enjoy the replay! Enjoy those rings from the gumball machine!

Where is the conflict? 9d1 is on 8/10 and 8/17, legacy is on 8/9 and 8/17.

Funny how how you have nothing to do with either team or you would know.

That's True! I was surprised to see Coach Pietramala and his sons playing for Duke's Nationals. My son was amazed to see him there.

Thanks for making my point! Still no answer......

hmmmm... doubt it. nice try

want to remind you that express beat the dukes nationals team in the terps stadium in the fall and again in boston in the beginning of the summer. your son only played in one of those games. also be aware that six express starters were missing this past sunday. the team looks forward to playing dukes again in the future. would love to meet up with you and continue this exhange

How does Channy Jr have time to coach a team...Isnt he on Team USA....next summer he is gonzo

Confirmed. Schwalji is the 2nd A team.

My advice, save yourself the stress and accept the invites. All the teams will be good. Don't complain that my son should be here or there or tryouts were not fair. Or try to make calls and placed on a better team. If you are on Schwalji and your kid performs like he should be on AA, he will get a the look. Trust me that goes for Chuck as well. These kids have an VERY experienced varsity staff overseeing their development. It's a great pipeline to be in and all these kids will start maturing over the next few years and things will change. Take it to heart or with a grain of salt, but that's my view.

OK Express employee. Yeah right, I will jump on the invite not knowing who is really coaching the Chucks. Channy has his name all over the Chucks invite. He owns it. If he does not coach that team and dumps it on his son, well that's fraud to a tune $60,000.00. Doubt he would attempt that.

But the last time you played they smacked you around. How many excuses are you going to have? Channy didnt play to win, missing 6,7,8,all 10 starters. The page has turned. Dukes are and will be a better team whenever they play express from now on. And the dukes were missing quite a few players also. And still smacked you. No big deal. Hate to see how much you cry when igloo beats you(2 out of 3 times) and when jr. over at 91 steps on the field and dimantles you. The tears will be everywhere.

Nothing has changed except the kids are on summer break and having fun.

Dukes had most all of its top players. Good squad which consists of many elite players from the region and a handful who age up.

Remember when Express played Igloo last this summe, they won 8-4. And it was priceless when Primetime outplayed Igloo twice at the World Series and beat the 2021/2022 team in Semis.

It's not Mike Jr, it's Matt C.

Express got lucky they didn't have to play igloo at the World Series they would have got smoked couldn't even get out of the first round down in Maryland a much harder tournament and Primetime and igloo split one game each in the World Series great games listen to the commentators they even said so
