I don’t know whether the bigger meltdown was the 91 meltdown on the field or the 91 parent meltdown on the sidelines. After months of convincing themselves that they were the best team on LI, they got spanked by Rebels - twice!

Saddest part was watching the 91 bench - at least 27 kids on that roster and 2/3 of them didn’t set foot on the field in either game. Parents, don’t drink the 91 kool-aid, it does your kid no good to stand on a sideline and watch his team loose, doesn’t matter whether he’s wearing a 91 helmet or not; clearly 91 does not equal champs.

There are a number of competitive teams in this age group. Find a club with a reasonable roster size. Your son will be a better player in the long run for it.
