HUGE SCAM! DO NOT PLAY FOR EXPRESS! This is a complete scam and shady business. They use a nice facility for "tryouts," promise you that this isn't your normal "daddy" baseball, and that there will be two coaches. ALL OF THOSE PROMISES ARE LIES. Let me tell you- every child who will pay makes the team- there is nothing "select" about this organization. We had 15-16 kids on our child's team and one single coach (another child's dad) with NO assistant coach ever. Every question regarding the lack of two coaches was ignored by Justin. The few tournaments they played were a disappointment for most of the team who sat on the bench. Out of 2 games, your kid might play 2 innings total. Such a joke. One child threatened others and cursed out adults in the dugout and was allowed to continue to play despite his disrespect and lack of baseball skills. The main complaint I have is that even when you sign up for one season to try it out, they automatically sign you up for a full season at $400 per month! There is something buried in the contract about continuing your charges if you don't cancel within the first two months of the season. No contract is sent to you for review after signing or to keep in your records. No one contacts you about continuing, you just see charges well beyond when your season ends, and then are told too bad, so sad. I don't know how this organization remains in business and how Justin has not been taken to court to end this sham of a business. read more

DO NOT DO IT! Waste of money. A LOT of your money. This organization is one man collecting as much as he can, not paying for enough coaches but they coach multiple teams so we only get 1 1/2 hour of practice weekly (only 2 practices with coach before our first tournament). Parents are dissatisfied, no team building, coach is overwhelmed and Justin hides. Our team has 17 players! (the photo below is with our PO not being there on this day) You're paying $5000 for you kid to sit on the bench and get minimal basic practice like fielding and batting in cages. Go to the park and DBAT instead. Put that money in real training or save for college. There is no personal training and development here like the website states for all players but only a few. And the support presented in the video made at the time this club started got lost. Last few tournaments we played easy 14U teams and won, but due to so many kids on the team the league is prepared for 12 to 14 kids tops, not 17. Our son did not get a ring. If he tells you he usually has 12-13 kids it's not true as the other Express team has 15 or 16 kids too. Instead of looking for ways to reduce the teams and create a manageable team, he just keeps on recruiting so he can pocket more money. Justin dodges answering to parents' concerns and questions and I wonder why an established organization has no real reviews on Google? Maybe after this he will get some parents he's friends with to do it but we know better. I'm not scared and will not use my kid in his games. If he sits my kid out because I am warning you all, or calling him out, it's okay, he's been doing that anyway and not responding to me as I pose concerns. He plays my son one at bat and an inning or two, some games none. I should've posted long ago instead of giving him the benefit of the doubt that he does what he says. It will only show his immaturity more, and the absence of leadership if he "gets back" at my son in games for my actions in trying to reach him. Will I get a response on Google instead of a call, a text or email back answering my questions? I'd love a face-to-face actually. Perhaps if we all stopped fearing our sons won't get play time if we post negative reviews we can help one another not make these bad decisions by signing up for unprofessional and makeshift clubs that lie about what they are. He has you sign a contract prior to knowing anything, takes your money and thinks you're stuck. It's like buying a product then later finding you actually bought a fake. Although there is a contract you sign believing what the website and he says is true, scamming eventually gets prosecuted and shut down one way or another. There is no office or employees, Justin coaches and tries to do all the admin stuff. The address here is actually a practice facility that does not belong to Express but they rent it and use it. It's not large enough for pitching and hitting from the mound. It says this began in 2010 - well why hasn't it grown and there are not enough coaches (2) or employees (1)? Even the current coaches as well as all the parents and kids are dissatisfied and can't wait to leave him. Just don't. There are many other clubs out there. Unless you have thousands laying around wanting to donate to him and you're not really interested in your kid's development, don't waste your money here. No matter where my son ends up I do not grant permission for Express to use his name and state it is a place that calls him an alumni. read more

The Express Baseball Club - Missing PO - 16 players at a tournament our 15u played 13/14 yr olds - Amateur Sports Teams Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Money hungry owner. Degrading to parents. A snake in the grass. Do not sign a contract

Honestly doesn't even deserve 1 star! Justin Cotten nothing but pay to play & all about how much money he can milk from you for lessons, uniforms, whatever. He is a great salesmanship but doesn't do anything for the kids & rides other people's coat tails! Do your homework! Great families have left this organization & no great things have been said. Save yourself time & aggravation! read more

Stay away from these guys!!! I signed my son up for the season and literally the same day got my labs back from the doctor. Without going into too much detail I canceled the same day because of fear for surgery and not being able to take my son to practice or games. I contacted Justin and explained the situation. Shortly after I started seeing charges for the season. I texted Justin and he replied once saying he would return the money but never did and continued charging me. I had to change my card and Justin would never reply back to my text or answer my phone call ever again. Ive tried multiple times and have never been rude or anything but it is apparent that this was done maliciously. Im still in dispute with the bank but so far I haven't got the funds returned. read more

The response from the owner is complete bull crap! I texted him over and over again about the delivery of the items I paid for. I assure you I paid for the entire uniform package that included the shirt, hoodie and shorts. When I texted him about it he said that he was aware that I didn't receive it and that it hadn't come in yet. After I informed him that we wouldn't be playing anymore, the story changed to my son was given the items and he lost them. What a joke! As for the claim that he "showed me a receipt and offered to let me order the items." Justin can't even be bothered to answer his calls or texts, much less meet you to show a receipt. This guy is out for himself and does not care about the kids! Please don't do business with this guy!!!! read more

10/10 do not recommend. First red flag should have been when you sign up and Justin says "even if your kid breaks his leg playing, we will replace him on the roster BUT you still have to pay." No. I advised him that we would not be returning after our fall season was over, and he got upset I assume because he wasn't going to get anymore of my money, so he tried to remove my son from the roster before our PAID season was over. He somehow bamboozled me out if 4,000$. HA! please do your research before you sign your children up here. This organization is 100% about the money and the profit and not the children playing read more

I had a disappointing experience with this club. Money appeared to take priority over the younger kids. Smug responses and false promises led to us deciding to leave the program. read more

We came to express because my son was sold a bill of goods and then reality hit. Justin's organization if it can be called an organization is a waste of money and honestly a scam. He does not care about the better of these boys or setting them up to be successful. It is apparent by the fields we practiced on, the fields we played on, the kids that played, and the coaches Justin has hired that money is his only comfort. He takes impressionable kids and parents willing to do what it takes to hopefully get them some exposure so that they can continue to do what they love and take advantage. My son learned nothing from his practices every week so in order to keep skills going we continued to pay for private lessons. Justin told us our practices would be in Keller and instead we have wasted copious amounts of gas driving over an hour to practice to listen to his coaches boast about how they are the best thing since sliced bread. I was so worried from your reviews on google and BBB that you would injure my son with over use but no problem there, we just spent 2500 in hard earned money for my son to sit on a bench and waste a fall season. I don't wish that Express Baseball organization fails because that's wrong but I do pray that he gets enough emails to wake up and use your voice and clout to shape really great kids that represent your organization with pride. In a world full of shitty people don't add to the problem read more

I am very familiar with the Express Baseball Club and am satisfied with the coaching and the extras Express arranges for their players One example is a training facility available for them to go to. Coaches and owner treat the players with respect and encourage them to play their best. Yes, it is a business but this club has produced many college scholarships for players and several have gone on to professional ball. read more

do not play for this organization. we only offers two contract options, one for a discounted rate for two seasons and one full price. I specially called Justin to discuss the best option because we only wanted to play summer ball and TOLD him we only wanted to play summer. There is no contract just for summer ball. I signed the full price contract with the understanding we would only pay for summer. I had to cancel my credit card because he started charging me for the fall season. I emailed him for a refund and he refused siting small wording cancellations had to be in writing which he never mentioned the the phone calls I had with him. I disputed the charges with my credit card company and they sited with him stating it was an installment agreement. We have played with other select teams and have never had a problem playing only summer baseball. Justin Cotton is the worst type of human being. read more
