what is the point of 2 "AA" teams when last summer, 1 "AA" was not competitive outside of LI?

The purpose is CoachC suckered in double the amount of people to pay him $4500- each.
Those people would have gone to other organizations. They would not have signed on for an Express B team.

You sound disgruntled. This has been going on for years at all tournaments, all teams and graduation years. Nothing new here.

Isn't Tri-star an Express tournament? I doubt he wants to be embarrassed at his own tourney.

What are you talking about?
Tournaments in the past have not created B brackets inside the A brackets. That's a ridiculous statement.
Sometimes in a tournament if the tournament organizer has a club team, they may get not as difficult a schedule as other teams, or so some people think.
But not that an entire grouping is created inside the AA bracket of the weakest teams, so the organizer's team doesnt have to actually play any of the actual AA teams and yet can say there team is a AA team and played in that bracket.
Your making excuses for your coach who will do anything to cheat the system.

They were in a bracket with Express - Wiezorek who is officially their "B" team but gets destroyed in every tournament.

Obviously they played down - if Express is supposed to be a top program their AA/A team should be in the A bracket with 91 instead of in bracket with their vastly inferior other team

Clearly the schedule and brackets will change leading up to the tourney. This is why in most cases nothing is posted to tourney machine until it's finalized. Express Haugen orange isn't even listed as of right now. Things are changing all over. Calm down.

You’re the type of genius that will never be happy with what Express does. The Haugen black team is AA. The other team is NOT an AA team! Where would you like the NON AA team to play?? They train together. That is all! Stop being so fixated on what Express is doing.

Does CoachC have another job or is this his main source of income?

LOL. Look more closely. Express Haugen Orange is listed. But they moved it out of the AA bracket into the A bracket with Express Wieczorek. Which us actually a B bracket. CoachC just likes how it sounds to say AA and A, instead if A and B.
He clearly has no faith in this 2nd team and is giving it the shaft as he does with any other age group. In the end it's only his one top team that means anything.

And even better he has the games scheduled so he can send some of his better players over to help the B team in their games. There is no overlap. They can play A game than B game than back to A game etc...
It's just laughable the antics if CoachC.

He is assistant lacrosse coach at St Anthony's. But you are correct Express is his real job. This is his money maker.

Dude AA just means A. There is A and then B. Directors and coaches made up this AA term just to sell teams and tournaments. Those parents were told that those kids would be on A teams, all of them. Not on B teams. But that's what he has made. The second team is a B team competing in B brackets (no matter what the tournament wants to call it) against B teams.
They are competing next weekend against, Rush Force, LILC, Rebels, Wieczorek, and Turtles.
Tell me, is that an A line up of teams????

Give me a break. Say nothing if all you are saying us absurd excuses. You sound like your CoachC's lap dog.

Any feedback on the teams playing in Tristar this weekend in the AA bracket? New to 2026 and just wondering what to expect. I’m familiar with Express and 91.

Since there is a higher and lower bracket what would you have them do? Stack one team and let the other get slaughtered in the same division? Just like you said there's A then B. Those parents were not told their kids would be on an A team.

This is far too confusing. I propose there should be a realignment and teams should be meticulously and accurately categorized by talent level in the brackets below. Maybe get Congress involved. MYLGA (Make Youth Lacrosse Great Again).

Jets are going to win tonight!!!

Liar liar pants on fire. Everyone I know who tried out for that team was told these would be 2 A teams. Noone was told they were registering with the possibility of being on a B team.
And yes, if they were supposed to be A teams you register both in the A division (or AA if they call it that).
Clearly you feel though they cant handle the competition of the top teams. That the team is clearly a B team.
Well than Chabby needs to be clear about that with the parents, and let them find a different team in another organisation for their kid if they want to play in that bracket. (Yes that means return their money since you brought them in under false promises.)
Ir if the team wants to stay then explain what tournaments abs levels they will be in. And exactly what kids are on each team. Abd don't have your A level kids at tournaments playing on the B team just to try and win.

Do you guys have to pay in full up front for Express?

Haha, I wish. Have another.

I don't know of a single team where you have to pay in full up front.

That's what I thought. I was just reading about the Express (or is it Exspress?) and wondered why parents wouldn't just cut their losses and write off the 1/5 of that fee or whatever they have paid and look elsewhere.

The full tuition is $4500 and they have them pay for a significant chunk of that up front.
And CoachC hasn't told them they are on B team. It takes a while for parents to cop on to the reality that they are being suckered.

Get off the internet. You’re drunk

New to 2026-how are the other teams in the bracket for Tri-Star? Not familiar with non-LI teams.

Tigers will roll

Tigers v BBL in finals

LOL. Close one.

Agreed Tigers are clearly the best team in this group

Parents are too afraid of Coach C to ask for their money back. No one hold him responsible for his actions. He is sensible and very shrewd.

But if you ask for your money back, he will do one of 2 things: give you your money back and wish you luck or put you child on the A team where he will never see the field.

BBL black is the only real competition for Express Haugen . They placed the Tigers, Primetime, and 91 Storm in the other pool in the AA division. CoachC is probably trying to give himself the best opportunity to at least make it to the championship.

So much jealousy and anger. Literally the same 3 people bashing express on here.

Wonder why?

That was certainly not a coincidence. No way in heck he wanted to play Tigers in the round robin. Or 91 Storm or Primetime for that matter. Other than BBL Black, who will likely beat them, it was his best chance to make the finals. Maybe the FOGO steals a game for him. In the end, it will be the Tigers and BBL Black in the finals, with the Tigers prevailing.

I agree. It certainly looks like he set up the pools to create the best opportunity for Express Haugen. I'm kind of surprised he didnt switch BBL black with Outlaws though. I guess that would be too brazen and obvious. Lol

I would say less than 3.

Or more than 20

If you people stay with this company and pay $4,500 . Your the problem . How legit is a Lacrosse company ? Insurance ? business licenses? What else would they need to have a Lacrosse company’s because it’s SHADY.....
If you people are getting the run around give them the run around.

this person seems loco

Companies like express destroying this sport. You let 11-12 year old stand on the sideline and don’t play. No development . They will raise there prices next year again and again. You all suckers !!!

I agree, although not about development totally. Game play development yes. But they do get great practice training. Better than almost any other club.
