These people don’t like MC so they attack the Express’s teams because they feel that will discourage people from joining the Express. Very angry and immature. These teams will do just fine. They always do

MR STATE CHAMPION...
lets say your son is a senior in HS and his team wins the state championship by some 1-10,000 chance. Then what??

State Champ winner plus a subway token can get you to walk on tryout anywhere in the country

MR I know nothing about lacrosse

This might be the stupidest post I have ever read on these boards, and thats no small feat. Talk to the kids at Garden City, Shoreham Wading River, West Islip, etc about how important winning a State Championship is. Take a look at the amount of kids that have been recruited from those schools the year after they won a state title. Not to mention the experience of winning a state title with the kids you have been playing with since grade school. I shouldnt blame you though, if youve never played a campetitive sport in your life and are living vicariously through your child you wouldnt know this. Keep dumping thousands of dollars into that overrated, money hungry club your son plays for, that and a subway token might get your son into a good school. Good luck with that.

What if your kid isnt one of the 5 best on the team? WM was clear, they are not helping, you do that on your own time...

The only problem I have ever had is simple--

If WM and those schools like them want a boy on their team in the summer, fine. Let that boy and his family choose if they also want to play with a club on their own time.


Why in the world would the school caoch care if my kid plays on his 30 man roster, but then goes to play with a club on a 20 man roster. Why cant a kid do both (if he wants to)???

Shouldnt the coaches encourage more playing rather than less?

Six terp kids make the Terp Black team this year, maybe they weren't,t so bad after all?

How many of the Terp black kids got moved down? Also how many of the Terps/Terp Black got cut all together?

Wow botc why so defensive , he did not ask for names only numbers.does your kid go do Chaminade or St. Anthony?

Sounds like you raise some good kids, congrats. Just confused the hot topic right now is try outs why would we not discuss who moves up and down ?

You're kidding, right? Cage made it clear; these are youth lacrosse players. They are there for fundamental development and growth as players and young men. What position they have on a team and if they moved from A to B team is irrelevant.
Be concerned that your kid is happy and healthy and enjoying the sport they like. There is no indication to generate or invent pressure or situations where they would be exposed to criticism or judgement as to where they play.
If your kid is not playing on the team you think he belongs on; then take it up with the coaches. A public forum is not the place to dissect one child's abilities vs another.
They will land on the team they are supposed to be on.

I must disagree, At this age "dissecting" players abilities is exactly what college coaches are doing! Anytime now, the wave of 2017 commitments will begin, so it matters this year more than ever what team a kid is on! Fundamenatal development should have already happened by this age.This is a forum about lacrosse, so thats whatis discussed here. Parents are their kids biggest advocate, and many times they are angry because there kid was shaffted due to politics. I sincerely wish all players the best, and esspecially the talented kids that get raw deals. Stick with it and don't get too caught up in the hype, but definately keep playing your absolute best every time and things will work out the way they are meant too.

"It matters this year more than ever which team you're on"???? You are very confused with regard to the recruiting process. I will agree your son may get some better exposure to top coaches on a good team. More talent means more coaches. However, the recruiting game is changing. Coaches want to see how players perform without the security of their teammates. This why the camps and showcases are so big now. You know the top ones. Much more important to be at those and play well on your own. This shows the coach your true talents, and IQ. Further, the individual college prospect days and clinics are critical.

Shush, you are 100% correct, but why share with those that want to fight over E....ss Orange or Terps, and who is who, and why they are on what team. We all know why some kids end up on Orange. Let them keep believing what they want.

St Anthony’s and Chaminade kids get pushed to the front from here on in. That is very clear from the results of the Express tryouts. Now the Terps team is getting diluted because kids are leaving the Express and moving on to other teams. Express is back filling with next in line.

I think Channy did an excellent job assembling the Orange team. Nice balance of skills and kids that play well together. If you ask the kids they like this team.Also I think having Moran coach Terps was a great move as well as it gives kids a chance to develop under a coaching legend.

Hows that Terps team shaping up? Hearing they're having a really hard time getting kids to commit? Moran is a great coach no doubt, I guess he'll have his work cut out for him.

Terps are going to be a low level B team which is fine for the kids who will be playing there. Coach Moran is an excellent coach who will make the boys better. My son made the team and accepted the invite. He is excited to get started and he knows several of the kids on the team. Should be fun!

They are not low level B. Please think that when you play them.

And you know this how? You know exactly who's committed and who's not? I think you're going to be very suprised at the final make up of that team. Best of luck to you and your son.

MC is a great coach and he runs one of the top organizations in the country. The training that he provides the players in his organization you will not find anywhere. The way he sets up tournaments for all players of the Express organization to participate all year long and that's all you have to do is sign up on the website is incredible. But! yes there is a but, if you were selected to play on one of the B teams you must run for the hills! There is zero quality control on the B and C teams. If you are on one of these teams you will see multiple coach's through out the year to coach the team very rarely does a coach finish out the season. Last year I think it was supposed to be Schwalje and Lynot were supposed to coach the B team. Now they are saying Moran is going to coach, do you really believe he will be there all of the time? Come on, he will show up for some tournaments and maybe a few practices if your lucky, he has his hands full with Chaminade and will not have the time to properly coach this team. What MC should do is hire a B director that over see's these teams and make sure they are being properly coached but he spreads himself to thin.

I've spoken to Coach Moran and he and Coach Gene Isnardi will both be involved all year from day one. Sorry to burst your bubble but my son is very happy to be with those 2 coaches and his new teammates. Prior to making claims, phone numbers to the LIE directors are on the website, yes they respond. Call and ask the the question. enjoy it will be a fun year
