Not saying they are best around, just that they are close and right there.

If these Dads are coaching b/c they feel they can teach the game better than the available options, why do they need to run their own kid out there every chance they get? Take a look at some of the older teams and when those kids land on Varsity teams. There are some '22 and '23 Coaches who have promoted their kids for years and those kids are still buried deep on Varsity rosters. It's pretty simple, when you agree to Coach, you agree to Coach everyone and the kids that you think aren't even close to your son will leapfrog him because they are learning the value of hard work and what it means to earn their spot.

All players have progressed a lot. Kids get great coaching. Team isn’t regressing it is progressing. Competing with some of countries too programs. Had some big wins this year, but need some more time together with a new piece or 2 to beat the best teams around. Honest assessment from someone staying with the team.[/quote]

I hope this isn't a Rebel parent posting this. Please step away from the keyboard, there is no reason to take their bait. Every club has warts, but if your son is happy and happens to be on a team Coached by multiple Varsity Head Coaches who will spend the time to improve his skills so he can get better - move on, no need to come on here and answer their jealous drivel.

If Rebels are that good, why is their best player at Legacy tryouts?

Some people also just go to multiple tryouts and get extra work in...

He’s at 91 tryouts

Played hitmen last year (will go back) less than half the cost of big money clubs! Do plenty of tourneys and have indoor winter practice. Tight squad (plenty of playing time). They are not a AA team (but have some AA talent) but if ur not gunning for the WSYL save the difference and do private training! Dunno how others could pay $3-5k to be a second rate teams on a franchise.

Nothing wrong with that . Lucky if a kid gets a 5k D1 scholarship for college per yr . FACT stop drinking the Kool Aid !

.

Hitmen is fine as a second or 3rd team in addition to a primary. You get what you pay for. It’s a glorified rec team. Not enough talent, competition, or structured development to push your son to get better.

He must have forgot the Rebels

We don't have a "best player" we have a team. As someone else wrote "need more then one kid to win a game". If this kid wants to go try someone else, then so be it. Signed another Rebels parent.

It must have been that he forgot or…. They’re not as good as the parents and organization thinks they are

Either someone is pretending to be Rebels parents or rebel parents are coming unhinged

Has 2way beaten any top teams to be considered that good?

Some people talk to themselves on here trying to cause issues. Word of advice, talk to real people with real experiences. Call clubs and see if they answer/get back, ask questions and see what the answers are if they are stuck to.

Not lately. They aren’t as strong as they were 2 years ago.

Mid-Atlantic 2028 forum had descended into chaos because the 28 Hawks just scored a bunch of holdback apparently. So the list above probably has some merit.

Not sure about 2 way. At least the Maryland folks were kind enough to put Venom in the top tier

2way 2028 has a player who was born in late 2008.

Rebels best player is gone. He kept them in every game and was a game changer. Question is, Legacy or Venom. Hope you have a 2nde goalie. Good luck next year rebs...

Rebels just got better as a team. We do appreciate your concern. Thanks 91 for posting it. Shows how class less you are.

Rebels goalie is not going to another club to split time with another kid. He is too good for that. Sorry. Nice try!!

Agreed! Cancer to team.

Kids great mothers a nightmare. As a parent from 2028 Rebels could not of got better news today. Venom goalie is very good, so let’s se the ripple effect.

If Rebels won her son played great. If they lost mom would blame coaches and other kids. Pretty psyched for tryouts Thursday

Hey Goalie Mom! Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

Have never seen such a unanimous rejoice that a parent is leaving... Maybe with her goes the 2028 parent groups reputation. Seems to be the case.

This is hilarious. REBELS are calling another team classless? People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Doubtful

Rebels = JV
With the worst reputation on LI!

Maybe check out tryout next few days then let us all know how Rebels are doing

No thanks

Over the roughly past 10 days we have seen players jump from Igloo, S2S, Express, Moose, 91 etc. A few one off post followed but fairly lite overall. Absolutely nothing malicious or slandering. Today we now know that a player left the rebels for another program and this board exploded! Rebel parents going off viciously on a parent. This is why the rebels are who they are and they have earned their reputation.

This is all anonymous. For all we know it’s a parent in a rival organization talking to themself. Take this all with a grain of salt. If it was true the parent of the player should confirm it. But that won’t happen bc it’s anonymous.

The mom has been on this page in the past telling everyone how her son got a full ride to play with the Rebels. I’m betting the Rebels are regretting not ever playing their backup goalie now vs half way competitive teams. The 91 goalie is the top goalie on the Island and he’s been at 91 since the start, so I’d be amazed if he went there. Legacy is a possibility, but who knows, it’ll all be revealed soon enough, tryouts and decisions are still being made.


From what we’ve been told so far is the best kids from the turtles are going to BTB, moose kids are going to S2S, any other big moves so far?

Where are you getting all this news? Nothing has been said on this thread.
And why are people declaring Rebels goalie has left. Seems this is all premature and possibly wishful thinking.

If rebels goalie wasn’t planning on leaving then he will now after all the slandering the rebels parents did on this board.

I am not sold that those are real rebel parents. You would have to be pretty notIntelligent to push that goalie off the team. If they are real rebel parents, then they may know for sure he is leaving and then that betrayal would elicit such a strong reaction.

Maybe just let him go play where he wants to play. Rebels, great. Anywhere else, great.

Best player lol! Did anyone see his performance in Maryland ? He was 50/50 this year. Hence why he jumped onto a Venom where it’s an offensive game and less shots on him. And to share the time 50/50 or less.
