Use this thread to discuss lacrosse pertaining to 3rd Grade Boys (2033 Grads) for the Fall 2023/Summer 2024 Season.

91 / Rebels at the top, and then everyone else?

91 at top. Better rebels players moving to 91.

Ha ha ha

91 always uses kids will move to them. Maybe develop what you have. No one is going to 91, they are on way down.

BTB 2033 Renegades beat a good ECE team in the championship game to win the Fall Brawl at Heckscher state park.

2033 Kraken beat that same Renegades team handily at Tri-Star.

Who's in Penguin or Spring Lax Jam?

Penguin teams...Igloo Avalanche, BTB Renegades, Legacy Greyhounds, Rebels Kraken.

Rebels and Igloo just scrimmaged also

Looks like Igloo, 91, Rebels, Legacy and Shore2Shore will make up the top tier at the age, BTB, close, B teams tier, True Blue, Recon, Jesters, Turtles. Think 91 most talented among top teams and True Blue some upside in B tier

Cut it out. 91 best team by far. Rebels are decent, but the best players from CSH will move to 91 in the next couple of seasons. Igloo, Legacy, and Shore are second-tier. Igloo is a decent "C" Team

Yea Igloo and Legacy not really top teams at that age group. Rebels and BTB both beat Igloo handily at Penguin Invitational yesterday. And Legacy got beat up bad by all 3.

Top teams
91
Rebels
BTB

Next teir
Shore 2 Shore
Igloo

Next tier
Legacy
Jesters
True blue
And everyone else.

Cut it out? Go polish off your crystal ball buddy.

Legacy in a tier above True Blue and Jesters, AA, A, B, and C

AA - Rebels and 91
A - BTB, Shore
B - Legacy and Igloo
C - True Blue, Igloo B, Jesters and Express

I guess nobody read about ECE33 playing in the championship? They are also holding tryouts in May for a 33 national team.

What is ECE33?

ECE dead end. CSH and Krakin are forming a super team . No Rebels going to 93. Will be by far best team at 33 level.

Rebels already use kraken and CSH and whatever other kids they can pull together for tourneys. Don’t get how parents there can be happy watching them pull kids and their kids sit on bench all tourney.

33 kraken on top all day

Congrats! You barely won a B tourney! Rude awakening coming soon for this group

Something happening soon please inform us

Yup. Each game for the Kraken boys…last second shots to win. Desperately fought back. Barely scraped up any W’s. Did you watch any of these games or are you just a delusional parent/tagalong fan boy?

This was actually a pretty good tourney.
Rebels Kraken on top BTB Renegades right behind them
then Shore to Shore and igloo a slight step down.


Rest of the tourney teams 7 were all in B division.
What other teams or tourneys are there that are better for this age?

Spring jam might be the best youth tournament of the spring. Only 4 teams at 33 A though so this was a lighter bracket, still great games all around

How many teams does rebels have in this age group and what are the names? Hard to follow some of the lingo. Thanks

Impressive tourney all around. 33 definitely weakest A division but you play whoever is there.

Imagine being a grown man or woman, coming on to an anonymous forum, and speaking down on the success of 10 year olds?

I don't think folks are speaking down on kids, I think folks are speaking up to other parents who come on here and pump their team's tires unnecessarily. As most threads on here will explain, all roads lead to 91 and Express on Long Island. Nitro is already a clear leader in this group, express will recruit come 8th grade. yes a long way from here, but it's something people need to come to terms with in the next few years.

Website says three, I know one is CSH town team "Seahawks".

Nitro and Kraken have played once since October. Nitro won 8-4, so that's not such a clear and dominant W, at least not the normal 91 thrashing that you would expect given all this hype. I'm sure both teams have some new players now, and perhaps they are both better, maybe not. One thing is for sure though, that they need to play again. The one thing that changes all that "leaving your team" hype and expectation is winning and being comfortable with the players you suit up with, putting egos aside. 91 is built on ego and people are starting to see through that.

What 91 team under 29 ages has got better last couple years. Maybe 30's all others opposite direction.
Express is really Bad at 34 33 32
So explain why parents will bring kids there.
Times change, reputation for past success means NOTHING.

I haven't seen 91 Nitro in any tournaments yet only the 91 B team in a few. Where did Kraken and Nitro play? It is surpising how low the Express teams are right now at all these young age groups. The parity is great right now but yes it will be interesting to see if all these top kids on all these teams migrate to 91 and express or stay put over the years.

The times don’t change. The places where elite talent comes from has.

Neither of those clubs or any other on LI can make an elite team of all LI players. Too many kids playing across the country now.

Both of those clubs, at the high school years (when it matters) will be loaded with out of state players and any of the can’t miss LI players and competing with the other best teams in the country. The other clubs will still be the other clubs. And your buddy who pounds his chest about his kid playing for 91 or Express in 3rd and 4th grade is likely to not have his kid in either organization by 10th.

91 is top in most of those age groups and year over year get better, so your argument is essentially a load of @ChillLaxin.

2029 - 91 Chaos - Most likely top LI team in WS, prob lose to eclipse in the final
2030 - 91 Cyclones - Top 1/2 teams in the country
2031 - 91 Titans - Worst team in the history of 91, need new coaching staff
2032 - 91 Valor - def in the top 2/3 teams in LI, will get better next year
2033 - 91 Nitro - Top team in LI

And for the record, Express doesnt care about teams below 7th grade, money from younger teams supports older teams

Who voted for the top 33 team on LI? Was that at the annual 91 say we're the best get together? I guess I missed that one.

All they do is talk about themselves and they think if they say it enough people will just go along and believe it. How about let the teams actually play each other first.

Nitro roaster will change a ton. Kids who don’t get playing time (1/2 the team) will leave or get moved down and replaced by new kids who won’t get playing time.

Has anyone beaten Nitro? Besides 2032 teams? I think they are playing up for the NLF, probably only 33 team that can do that.

Probably only 33 team entered. No 33 bracket

They are doing that because it is their clubs tournament.

I don't think any 33 team has played Nitro yet bc they haven't entered any tourneys. It's like they're scared to enter a 33 tourney and get a loss. It's 3rd grade lacrosse, kids must be having a ball of fun on that team I think they played in one tourney 32 bracket and lost.

Nitro hasn't lost to a LI Team, so not sure why these Rebels people keep saying they are the best. Doesn't matter, just don't understand the constant cheerleading for Rebels teams. Rebels is a good program, especially for developing young talent, but the program runs its course by 7th grade, at which point the better players leave to position themselves for HS and College. Simple fact, and not taking anything away from the Rebels

Nitro hasn’t lost to a Long Island team? Not really a boast when they literally haven’t played anyone 😂😂 Can also say Nitro hasn’t beaten a Long Island team. They’re all going to have to play sooner or later.

The only team close to Nitro is CSH/Rebels, and the good players on that team will move to Nitro next season. Nitro is still the best team on LI by far. They are so good they don't have to play on age and should play up. Name a worthy opponent their age.

Everyone Moves to 91, all other Clubs should fold now.

Not everyone, but 1-2 of the better players on CSH/Rebels will move to 91. Development and Coaching are far superior.

91 nitro might be the best but no one knows because they don't play anyone. They should play Rebels Kraken, Rebels Seahawks and BTB Renegades. Until they actually start playing them it's all talk by 91.

Gotta love 91's strategy though we might not be the best but will just take all your best players so we can become the best.

If the development and coaching are so much better, why do they need to rely on constantly taking other clubs players… instead of you know coaching and developing….

Well said

Exactly they just rely on the 91 name and give more free scholarships to all the players then other teams. Then all the money from the b and c team players offset it to pay for the A team.

You can’t develop every kid; most kids hit their ceiling before high school

Always wondered how that worked. Parent of a B team here - so your saying that there are A team players that don't pay?

Totally False!

Every organization has a magic number of paid players they need to hit for profitability regardless of A, B or C. The people chirping that A teams have all these kids playing for free are the same people that think every kid heading to D1 schools are getting full athletic scholarships.

Focus on your own kid. Find a place your player/family are happy and enjoy the ride. It’ll be over before you know it.

Signed,
Someone with experience

This is 2033 and there is very little experience from parents within this age group, especially Rebels Parents. The landscape will change and it will change fast. Rebels won't be the same or good come 7th grade. Teams/Clubs don't give scholarships, most have coaches kids who play for free, and rightfully so as they volunteer their time, good or bad, most put forth dedication and commitment, so they deserve it. The rest of the team pays full boat and nobody in their right mind thinks they are getting D1 scholarships.

Thankyou B team parent!

BLA BLA BLA 91 Misinformation
Kind of sad, that 91 Directors are on this site
