BOTC - US Lacrosse Community Forum Forums NORTHEAST LACROSSE BOTC MAIN FORUM (LI, CT, WC) Outlaws Part Ways with Pat Brennan who Joined Son at the Rebels

That's absolutely what they said last year. That that was their philosophy and part of what made them different from other clubs. That they concentrate on 1 team per grade.
Better yet it still says it on their website in their description under about us.
" The Rebels are dedicated to bringing something new to the club scene, with a commitment to maintaining one elite level team per graduation year. "
They are not even thorough enough to check over their website for contradictions when they turn face on what they promised.

Who hurt you, why is this a thread. Keep bashing the Rebels, while they continue to take big strides in year 2.

LOL... "commitment to maintaining one elite level team per graduation year. "

Common definition of commitment --> an agreement or pledge to do something in the future; something pledged

"The Rebels aren't dedicated to bringing something new to the club scene, with no commitment to maintaining one elite level team per graduation year."

They cant continue to take strides when they made no strides last year. Other than one or two teams the rest crashed and burned out there. It was clear as day at any tournament they were in for anyone to see. And the facts are there for any parent to look up on tourney. All they are doing is giving the same BS words as last year. But hey if that's what your into and you want to pretend that your kid is on an elite team when your barely a B team if that, then go at it.

So they are adding a few 2nd teams. My guess is that these formed groups coming from another club. Why turn down the revenue. Businesses are allowed to change and react to market conditions. Team creation at some point has to be a zero sum gain. Meaning the new teams here are a loss there. Wherever there is? But there is going to be left trying to sell a really bad to parents.

Sounds like the ramblings of a bitter parent who's kid didnt make the team. You better pray they have a 3rd team so your son has somewhere to play and you can ruin him by acting like a lax mental patient on the sidelines. I think the team store is open if you wanna buy yourself a tee shirt. I'll pay for the name on the back of it: " Closet Fan" RED AND BLACK ALL DAY FOOL!!!

Yes and that's why the existing Outlaw management is far superior than the corrupt Rebels leadership.

Sorry but my son didnt try out for the Rebels. You can make excuses all you want, but the facts are clearly there. Anyone trying out or not trying out can see what a mess Rebels was. And how they didnt live up to what they said while recruiting last year. People on this thread even spoke about how they didnt give the kids all the gear they promised. Again, if that's what you want to buy into, then go ahead. Best of luck.

I've seen the same thing in other sports as well. Here is the list of things you get for your thousands of dollars and you end up getting half. Too bad these travel teams whether or be lacrosse, football, soccer can't be held accountable and refund partial tuition for the things they don't deliver on.

All we can do is come together as a unit and state the honest facts. Parents can then decide for themselves if they want to have their child play on a sub-par club with shiny red helmets and socks, or play with a club like the Outlaws who do not rip off the parents or kids futures.

My son played for Rebels last year. You people are delusional when it comes to picking apart these organizations. What didn’t you get and when didn’t you get it by? One person stated they didn't get their Box Lacrosse uniforms on time. OK, box lacrosse for 3rd graders and you’re worried about your jerseys - just throw a pinny on and give it a run. That turned into them promising “thousands of dollars in equipment and only delivering half”. And now they’re being accused of ripping off “parents and kids futures”. If you’re looking for a first year lacrosse program to deliver on parents and kids futures, you’re part of the problem. So many kids show up to practice and they can’t even catch or throw, then the team gets blamed for being terrible. Travel clubs do not teach basic skills, it is expected that your little superstar be able to play at a travel level, before tryouts. Instead of wasting people’s time posting about these sub-par organizations that rip people off and steal parents and kids futures, go have a catch with your son, help him develop a passion for the game and confidence that he’ll succeed under any Coach, at any level. Stop waiting for that magic organization thats gonna deliver on all your lacrosse hopes and dreams - it ain’t happening. Too bad by the time you realize that, your stud will be on his 4th team by 7th grade.

I have to agree with the above , my child too played this year for Rebels and they did an amazing job. All gear that was promised was received, in fact they were even given gloves .you can’t expect to learn the basics at practice at this point! These kids have to put there own time in . Rebels did an amazing job and will continue to grow and improve as an organization. Enjoy the game and making memories with your kids not all have that opportunity.Go Rebels and good luck to all the kids and what ever team they play for this season!

Not sure what Rebel kids did not get
But the did get
Fall uniform from Tryouts
Spring /summer Uniform with shooting shirts and socks. The older kids got pretty cool throw back Jerseys
The Shinny red Helmets
Gloves
Equipment bags
A Shirt for each Parent
Sweat Shirt

Youth Teams had over 50 Practices and 8 plus tournaments in Fall, spring,and summer

Imbecile

Lacrosse travel equals big money.

It didn't seem to help them at all. Go OUTLAWS!!!!!

Why does this particular thread even exist? If people are happy they will come back to the team, if they aren't they can leave. Simple. IMO Pat is a bum. He is arrogant and a terrible leader. That being said, his son who runs the club is a sharp guy. I would never have my son play again for a club where Pat is associated, that is why the Rebels aren't for me..Give Mike some time I would bet in time if they keep Pat out of the mix, this club has potential.

Very well said, and 100% agree.

this might be the best post I've ever read on this site. a parent that gets it. kudos to you. if I ever get the pleasure of meeting you I would like to buy you a drink.enjoy your summer!!!

Too many people concerned with the rebels on here. Looks like they made some enemies. With that being said that’s how club lacrosse works. They will continue to be successful. They will struggle to pass 91/express/igloo/legacy but they will compete with them at most ages for years to come.

Truth hurt, Mr. Outlaw?

No, Rebel Yell.

Sure, parents are part of the issue.

The real issue is that the clubs are taking players who can't throw or catch!!!! Club ball should be for good players to develop them further, not money ball!!!! But greed takes over these clubs and it hurts everyone. Totally unfair to developing players who are good but not AA material. These B teams have the full range of players from very good to kids who don't want to be there. Parents pony up $$$ and clubs are glad to take the money.

Dam it. First My wife had "Outlaws" [ChillLaxin] stamped on her right cheek, then "Rebels" [ChillLaxin] stamped on her left cheek...anyone know a good place to go to get these removed? Preferably with some pain involved...

they did not supply all the training they promised.they only had 1 fogo training that was not VIP, 2 day mini camp, individual position training, and also had trains who never were seen,

Oh come on already

I feel sorry for your husband. Seriously, can we bury this thread already?

Many PB haters out there. That said, in all honestly, he most likely doesn't give a dam.

What is he doing at Rebels? Is he coaching?

That's why nobody likes him. He's a bum. Outlaws will be much better without him.

I can vouch for what this person is saying. Not to mention no evaluations throughout the season. So many untruths. And they even had some coaches bail on them for some teams. You could tell other coaches on teams were frustrated with the organisation. It was exactly the opposite of what they kept saying they were going to be.

Pretty sure all coaches are back with the organization for year 2, except for the 1 age they decided to get rid of... my kid got multiple evaluation calls and you can always call their office they always answer!

No coaches bailed, don’t you have anything better to do than make up lies? If you have a problem call them!

It was a 1st year organization. What 1st year organization is going to have no mistakes, no bumps in the road. I’m sure corrections will be made, now that they have a year under their belt. Overall it was ran well. No organization is ran perfect.

Then you are quite misinformed. Coaches did bail on certain age groups. You clearly know only about your own. And evaluations are one call at the end of the season. So the only person lying about that is yourself.

Outlaw Mom, you need to move on and redirect that anger somewhere else. Evaluations were given all season, and if your stud didn’t get one, the Coaches would readily provide one if asked. Is this stuff really keeping you up at midnight? Time to reassess your priorities because your obsession with this thread is becoming manic. Rebels bad, you good. There, move on.....

Here is your evaluation: Rebels momentum building. Get on board now or get out of the way.

PB is the man. Started outlaws and now, using his experience, going to make the Rebels a powerhouse. Good luck with the new club.

Only liar here is you. And your the one angry. Angry people are saying the truth.
Also interesting how you assume everyone who writes is from outlaws and a woman.
I think the one who is obsessed is you... and probably sexist as well.

Wait....I cant stop laughing.... still laughing.... still laughing.....that's just too funny....just cant stop laughing
Keep drinking the koolaid man
Rebels has no problem taking your money in return for the elite team BS they tell you while you go through another losing season. ....
Still laughing

Rebels vs Outlaws at high noon! (tumbleweed rolls by)
