Because they put the Express B team in A brackets

2016 Barracudas was abandoned by MC. He handed the boys over to good coaches, never any chemistry. Once he had his first round of commits , the rest were forgotten. At Adrenaline did not take a moment to tallk to hids former team, watched for a few min then walked on. Shame on us for writing the checks !!

As the recruiting starts younger most of these clubs will start to peak in 8th grade summer. Trend towards individual showcases and prospect days will weaken demand in hs years

Express b not in any a brackets. In fact express Terps could hardly handle a bracket, which is why they placed in b in some tournaments so they could win. Just terrible!

How do you figure?

I am aware of at least 15 kids at various age groups leaving 91 A and express A teams to join Legacy.

I guess you haven't seen or hear of the 2018 terps? Wins lots of tee shirts and more importantly sending boys to the right showcases...

I think Legacy is a fine team, but to say they will beat Terps is ridiculous. They're not even close, played in LaxFest and didn't even make it to the finals. Whenever Terps play Legacy it's a blowout. Titanium lost to Manhasset in Stony Brook, who lost to West Islip, so why don't you put those two teams in the conversation....

33 kids on team. How much action are the bottom 12 getting at the "right" showcases? Your kid better be on man up or man down. Hope you don't grow out of the Tee shirts!!

Express "A" teams joining Legacy ? Not the 2022 group... no way... sounds like a Legacy parent trying to cause trouble

Please don't compare Terps to Legacy, compare Legacy to B teams or weak A teams, Terps are second only to Crush, did they lose a bad game at Crabfeast, yes, but they consistently beat the best, at [lacrosse]'s they killed Rising Sons and Looney's, they've lost to Crabs (who have older kids so not true 2020), but they are clearly the second best team on LI.

You're an idiot, Terps played in one U13B bracket and destroyed everyone, they are a strong A team and lose only to the Crush and last game against Crush in the finals of Legacy/Laxachusetts tourney was a solid game and probably the closest game Crush had against another 2020 team in a year +

I think they didn't even make it to championship at crabfest!

Yet when confronted about playing in that one B tournament and "crushing" everyone, the parents and coaches insisted 2020 Terps were a B team. Funny how they want it both ways. Trophy chasing at it's best-must have felt good. If you are second to Crush and a strong A team, you owe an apology and the Championship trophy to the teams you "crushed" in that tournament. For some reason, I don't think we will see any apologies issued or the "trophy" returned. Again, Terps calling people names for having opinions when they are consistently unsportsmanlike and disrespectful on the field and on the boards. Feeling even more sorry for the Terps kids.

you are clueless and not worth responding too. Guess your kid wasn't one of the 33...

Are there really 33 kids on 2018 Terps ? Wow

Ha , The only one that should be apologizing is Legacy to the parents they ripped off pretending to be a legitimate organization. Now go away this is an EXPRESS thread.

Terps lost to Sweetlax at Crabfest

Sorry if this is off topic, but for Express Tryouts it states that I need a US Lacrosse Number, but when I go and try to make one it says to become a member I have to pay (so and so). What do I do because I don't want to pay for a membership, but on express tryouts form it's asking for one?

If you have a high performing kid, the Express is the way to go. Look at the college placements on their 2017 team for the strong players. Chanenchuck focuses on those top kids and trains them to be top level lacrosse players.

Seasons over, zero kids on terps 2018 right now, tryouts end of the month

No 34

In the past, I would agree. Better options out there now. Why do you think express moved up their tryout date. I'm out!!

YES

I can see a lot of those 2018 kids going to 91 and outlaws, not much else out there that will get into the top recruiting events. It's a big year for the 2018s and you don't want to be numbers 18-34 on the Terps team!

So now Legacy is a premier organization? Doesn't that require solid teams at every level? If so you should know that their 2020 B team got a solid beat down from a mediocre town team at Lax Fest. Feels like either a Legacy director or parent is applying different rules when it comes to their organization. The bottom line is that the landscape is subject to change year to year. Kids move around singularly or as a group. Today's flavor of the month travel team is next year's whipping boy. And, above all, for every travel program, no matter how successful, there are people willing to come on here and bash the organization. No program is immune. You can say Express had stronger teams than others this year, but their long term results speak for themselves making it hard to argue, based on one year, that the organization is "over." That is especially true when the organization you are touting suits up teams that are no better than town teams.

Well, Legacy might not be premier yet, but they are moving in the right direction while express is becoming a has-been. Your best shot is to attack the 2020 b team. I will agree, not a strong team this year, but next year with the merger , they should be solid. As another poster confirmed, to put 33 kids on a recruiting year team is simply a money grab, as well as a terrible injustice to the kids. I would want no part of that. Express is done. Even the director MC is no where to be seen. Not the team I want my son on going into the important years!

Lol. Oh yea. I'm sure they will take 18 this year.

Use mine!

I heard they have a kid on that team that's not worthy of a B level team 2 years younger but the 2018 Terps are saddled with him because the dad works in the Town of Oyster Bay and gets Channy field permits.

How many are entering the 3 Catholic schools ?

no need to call out a kid, he would be a very good player on any 2018 B team and probably contribute on a few "A" teams, no need to ridicule a kid because of the sins of the father. He has improved greatly over the years and he knows his place and does not complain about playing time, he is a great kid and you are an a$$ for calling him out like that - these kids all read this site.

not 91 extreme, they are a better team then the 2018 terps and even if maybe a handful could make 91 but my guess is the better kids that might be able to make the extreme are not the ones looking to move. outlaws and FLGreen are more likely destinations for kids that might be looking to leave terps

The only reason a kid will leave the 2018 Terps is if he does not make the team. But every kid realizes there are tryouts and they have to earn their spot and they continue to work very hard for it. Kids and parents love the team. It is strange how many parents from other programs come and spend time on the LI Express forum. I wonder what that reveals...maybe it is where they really want to be. If so there kid should try out. If there kid is a good kid and great player he will always have a chance. Probably not many express parents hanging out on other teams forums, mainly because they are very happy where they are and focused on all the opportunities Express makes possible for our kids.

Not saying anything that is not true so why be so defensive. Parents wants to bring out the truth when it helps their position and bury the truth when it hurts their agenda. Lacrosse is the world of entitled liberals who can justify all their actions.

I wonder how you would feel if that was your son being spoken about that way. Or better yet I wonder how your son would feel. Terrible role model.

So who decided you are in charge of calling out player ability on here. If so proud and righteous to spread the truth , why don't you put your name on it?

Coward!!!!

Haha that's funny!

Too funny, TOB is being discussed and it is liberals causing all of the wrongs in the world. I think it is angry people of all types (like you) that are making things the way they are. Mean people.....unfortunate.

Say what you want about my kid but call me a liberal and I will find you and ..........
