Reposting last post from previous SY:

honestly why would anyone want to be on the rebels. constant B level teams. constant lies on this board about how great they are. and constantly bashing other programs. is that what people want to be a part of?

Rebels are having 5 li teams at 31. AA is best team in country. Only lose to 1 1/2 year older 2 way. Which also had 30’s playing.. B that’s for legacy 91 and express. In 4 weeks the top program imwill be Rebels. Come to tryouts. Heard capping at some ages have 80 -100 kids already signed up. If your son can make stealth, come and see how good they are.

Oh boy, this post didnt age well at all…. 31 rebels just lost to sweetlax. Bwahahahaha
Let’s hear the excuses for this one

Lost by a goal, no excuses. Beat S2s again, that’s getting old. Let’s see what happens Sunday.

Rebels beat S2S Armada? Wow, that’s a solid B team; congrats.

And handled Sweetlax Sunday to win their 6th championship of the summer. Great summer Rebels. Top 31's should be looking to head to the Rebels.

Stealth is 1/iglioo 2. Will both only get better too. It’s a good match up. No one on island close. Both have spots available. If your sons top player on 91/expressS2s/ should check out.

why? so they can play in B tournaments and beat up on smaller clubs and town teams?
have fun with that.

Nice work! I think that was upstate’s first tournament of the summer so they had fresh legs. You probably took it easy on them and rested starters. Definitely not a concern going forward. No chance you burned out a bunch of 9 (and 10) year olds this season.

You might have any to educate yourself in rebels opponents and results this year. Clear top team, will not be close next fall. Any really good player should try to make it.

“Jump to my team, we’re winning all the time, we will blow out teams next year”. Blah blah blah. Who cares!!!!!!

Here is what matters most: ensuring my kid is (1) loving the sport, (2) loving his team and (3) developing life skills.

Too many clubs, coaches and parents have lost their way because they lost sight of what matters most.

Why would parents want other great players to come to their kids team? Parents don’t talk like that. Parents don’t advertise tryouts. That means less playing time for their kids. Look at the big picture. The more kids that attend the July tryouts, the more tryout fees are collected. The more tryout fees collected, the more money the club makes. The more money the club makes, the greater the income is for a few individuals. We get it already. We got it a long time ago.

Rebels Kids Love the game, absolutely have a great Family atmosphere. I am sure this will bother you, also Trained and practiced 136 times last year. The Coaching staff is amazing. Yeah, why would any kid or parent want to be a part of this.

136 practices. That’s one every 2.3 days. Cmon.

Maybe more then as it was 3-4 Times a week. It's not for every kid, but it really worked for mine

No chance you burn out 9yos practicing 136x/year!

I don’t know…….Maybe the blinding restless narcissism that we get in every chat room on this site from you and your brand.

No one is going to a program where they carry too many kids and the brand is blind to their shortcomings.

Good luck to you and anyone who follows down your yellow brick Road.

What's the word on the Jesters?

What's the word on the Jesters.

They are based out of Massapequa, they have a Girls program. Some years back they had a boys program. Not sure what happened to it. I heard many different stories not sure what to believe. I was told to google the owners name, when I did, I was a little shocked at his past. He seems to be or has been associated with some unsavory people. Not sure what to make of it. True blue is also based out of Massapequa and Be the best is based out of Seaford. A lot new choices for that area.

Rebels had zero kids leave, except the 32’s that are now playing in that age. Added some excellent kids. The best got better.

The Boys teams are new for the Jesters. They got crushed this year but improved throughout the season. They attended more tournaments than 91 or Express so I give them credit for putting themselves out there, they’ll grow from that. I don’t know how often they practice.

What are thoughts about Express for this age group? The tryouts didn't seem too heavily attended but I heard they are having 2 teams.

No background checks?

Express or Express East?

Express east is better than the regular express team. They practice at Stony Brook.

So, Rebels added 4-5 Very good kids, Allstar coaching staff
Igloo was 2nd best, did they retain all. Very good coaches

Rebels have 4 31 teams, few spots left. Have tryouts every night at new indoor facility they now own. Join the best, reach out.

Where is the indoor facility that the Rabels own?

Deer Park

Think they just bought that spot by heartland. Good for them, works with their high attention to training model.

For the love of God and the decent parents that are apart of Rebels…stop the constant PR

It’s off putting

Let the teams play speak for themselves

Any word on the Legacy Blue Devils?

I know many happy customers. That’s why I don’t get the need for constant cheerleading posts.
All clubs have dissenters so let’s keep a level head. Haters are going to detest obviously. Just let the teams be the focus.

I’m pretty sure that most of these fool rebels posts are not from rebels parents. Pretty sure it’s a troll that’s just trying to get everybody all riled up

Honestly think people (1 or 2 people) go on all the boards and pretend to self promote the rebels… knowing the rebels people I don’t think they are doing it.

Got a new non dad coach. They still have 5-6 dad coaches plus the new coach. Some kids left.

I know for certain, at least early on in the 2030 boys forum, one of the directors was posting.
As

Few of my sons friends play there. Seem like a good core group, but not close to Rebels.
