What was the tourney last week with Rebels and BBL National? Who won?

Rebels bring home the gold again. Dominating win over Nationals in Philly. Saw 3 iglioo kids on Snipers. Yes, Rebels played them too, along with Towerman, and Orange Crush.

That Stealth team is legit and only getting better,

Are we going to see them at the NAL on 10-11 June?

Schedule will be up soon. Going to see alot of other familiar names up and down all the age groups as it’s one of the premier summer tournaments.

Why would Igloo kids move to a team that is already saturated with talent? 91 and Legacy will benefit the most from Igloo's demise. I do agree with you on the tourneys - King Street will be more competitive than NAL.

Igloo imploding, any top kid should be contacting Rebels. Thing Rebels in King Street, better teams. Thanks for looking out.

What's going on at Igloo?

Lots and lots and lots. Lots of everything except access to top tournaments.[/quote

Who cares who is the best. Find a team that fits your kid.
Does he enjoy playing with the team?
Does he like his teammates?
Does he like the coaches?
Is he improving and becoming a better player?
Is he getting sufficient minutes?
Most of all is he having fun?
If the answer is yes to these questions then you have the best team for you. If the answer is no to any of these questions, it’s time to find another team

They are still very young, enjoy the game. In a few years 91, express, igloo and even the rebels will be recruiting the best players from each team offering either free or reduced tuition. This usually happens in middle school. Happens every year. Just enjoy these next few years and make sure your kids are having fun

They can improve at attack with some more scoring options.

The problem with Rebels is they have a bad image (whether its right or wrong I'm not close enough to know). College coaches generally don't want to deal with them (verbatim from a coach at a vg program). Sure some kids will get recruited, but if you're a college coach and call comes in from BBL, Madlax, Hawks, Express, Crabs, 91, Shore and even Igloo, etc.. you'll take one of those kids over a Rebels kid (all things being equal) just b/c those coaches are less obnoxious is the rumor. There are great players at every club so no need to deal with the BS.

Their new Director seems very nice he coaches their single A team as well - If they position him right could wash this away and possibly recruit some more Nassau talent.

Legacy and 91 are nowhere to be found.

Having a kid who has gone through the recruiting process (he doesn’t play for rebels) this statement is not accurate. College coaches do not care what program you play for. They care about your skill set, needs, academics(can you gain admission) and if you are a good fit for their program. That’s it. Whether you played for Rebels, BBL, Primetime, means nothing to them.

If anyone is expecting their club coach to “get them recruited” you will be very disappointed. It’s your kids job to get himself recruited. Not your club coach. It’s a lot of work and a crowded field. If your kid works hard at getting recruited he will have success.

What teams were in this “king street” tournament? That’s better competition than NAL?! lmaoooo

none. That’s the joke. Rebels not invited to biggest tournament of the summer.
