9yr old 3rd grader…FACT

Sounds like someone had a hard time scoring this fall.

Rebels are a big fish in a small pond. No competition.

Who are the rebelles?
They don’t sound too scary.

BotC Rule #2:
When your team loses, accuse the winning team of cheating.

BotC Rule #1:
When your team wins and is accused of cheating, tell the other team to "Hit the wall!"

Rebels are only the greatest club lacrosse team ever assembled.
I’d be careful what you post about them; their founder spends a vast amount of time on here.

Rebelles best not come south.
Annapolis Hawks would pound them.

As would a few others. Most hotbed areas begin lacrosse at age 5-7. MD kids start playing lacrosse at age 3. Big advantage when the kids are so young. There are some good squads down there.

MD clubs start young, they have strong teams and good stick skills. They’re also wimps, as I’ve watched teams from Philly and NJ and NY push them around like little siblings.
Northeast teams aren't afraid of your boys, sorry

What teams teams did you see pushed around?
Any specifics? What teams? When? Or just made-up, boasting?

My guess is he's confusing ms and hs age groups with this one.

It's pretty fair to say the top 3, possibly 4, teams in the '32 group reside in MD right now. The rest of the NE is off to a slow(er) relative start.

True. Who are the teams to watch in MD PA and NJ?

How does HoCo stack up this year?

That’s because those kids are older.

Third graders pushing teams around. I’m sure little Connor is an absolute beast at 8 years olf but try to get ahold of yourself. 😂

I’ll tell my boy to take it easy on your little Tyler…

32 chat heating up! Can't wait for Spring/Summer

HoCo alignments out. Crabs trying to enter the b league this year, after quitting the league last year due to blowout losses.

Watch out for the Rebels this summer, training hard all winter.

Nice try, Coach

It’s a great day to be a Outlaw!

Rebels toasted everyone today. Why did 91 avoid them?!

91 avoided them because half the 2032 Rebels team were 2031s. As they run the tourney, they know this.

Rebelles playing in “light” leagues.
Soft tourneys.
Come south. Every team in HoCo would send them packing.

Do the cars not work in Maryland?? On every thread we're considered "scared" because we don't come south often. I have an older son and I have never seen a Maryland team play on Long Island.

Not true, my kid plays on 2031 and Rebels won't event let us practice with the Archers. They even cancelled a game last year when 31s were to play Archers at Lake George as Archers were playing up.

They are all 2032's. lol

I do know MD kids are at least 8-12 months older on average so it may be so the other way around pre rules adjustment.

It was a 91 tourney, rebels have no 31’s in Archers. They do have 3 very good 33’s. They practiced 2, 3 times a week since last fall. That’s why they are so good.

MD teams do this year round. It’s why the Rebelles can’t compete.

Rebels this age a decent team, not sure about long run, will lose kids as the Rebels always do.

Those that keep saying Rebels lose kids are DIRECTORS from Programs on way down.

Rebels have added more great kids at all ages. 3 practice a week. Unbelievable staffs, own indoor facility. They are top program now on island. Keep your hopes up of rebel players leaving. Going to be opposite.

Lots of LI 2032 teams already, about 16, probably more? Will be a good age group to watch

Established teams
1-Igloo - top of the age group
2-Rebels - closing the gap with Igloo
3-S2S - solid small core, not deep, will need to add
4-Team 91 - don’t know much, but it’s 91?

Unknowns
1-BTB - building the team the right way - good trainers
2-Express East - have a strong foundation
3-91 Empire - developing stages
4-Express - one day will be upper echelon
5-Rebels B - developing - train often and hard
6--Rebels C - developing - train often and hard
7-Recon - have a core, developing
8-True Blue - building their team
9-Jesters - new to boys, practice a lot
10-Team 91 B - don’t know much
11-True - will be formidable at some point, merge?
12-Turtles - developing - good trainers

Igloo won’t last. Lame owner and coach is a fool.

Any perspective on the coaches of Rebels, 91 and S2S?

Igloo will break up same as rebels
91 B team isn’t very good
BTB is starting out
Jesters - group of kids who were at 91 plus some kids from Express joined together
S2S - very solid group
True blue - lost all good kids to other clubs
Turtles will be good

Igloo coach will drive all those players away. Inevitably what will happen, it always does, 91 and Express will push their chips into the age group, those at lesser clubs will have a decision to make. 91 and Express will take the best and then fill in with reclassed and out of town players. The question is, maybe not this summer, but next summer, which clubs does the best job of keeping their core for the long term, managing parent egos, team chemistry, etc. Who has the best team leadership to maintain longevity, definitely not Igloo. Rebels coaches are very good. All easier said than done as most parents are high maintenance.

True Blue is done after their 2024 class, unfortunate the way that went since they have some good coaches. True Blue dominated south short Nassau county for a while, which is now dominated by BTB, Jesters and now True.

Legacy not mentioned above is part of that first tier of established teams

Saw S2S having supplemental tryouts for 2032, does anyone have info on this team and their coaches?
