If any relation to the 2019/20 Lady Rebels, they are a group of YJ and TG parents/players who can not get enough from their club and/or town teams so they formed a splinter group to play in tourneys ... i had thought as part of the TG defection deal with YJ the Lady Rebels had to burn their jerseys... but maybe that only applied to the 19s and 20s. New, younger Rebel squad... it begs the question: are deals in the works for the '21s now?

Answer to why burn the jersey: So they (Lady Rebels) won't beat the YJs anymore thus eliminating YJ competition. And in the process of the "deal" weakened the competition by taking players from the TG Black team. Masterful and effective business move by the YJ.

Wondering why a rebel discussion is even on a 2021 heading? Rebels have been around for several years and was never a 2021 deal. Are they becoming a club of their own and expanding into more age groups? Is the 2021 team all TG players?

Because there is a 2021 LI Lady Rebels team coming down to Baltimore next weekend to play M&D and at least one other team that I know of. Just wondering who they are

Not the lady rebels you are thinking of ,believe this is just a select TG group .The former Lady Rebels were really just a core group of TG and YJ that lived in the same area of LI that would supplement the team with different kids for different tournaments depending on who was available etc.Politics and egos being what they are that team is essentially gone.

Yeah, they had a 2020 team down in MD for the Spring Club Championships last year. We thought they were the MD area Rebels club(who is not good). We were caught a bit off guard.

Why aren't YJ 2021 invited. Best team in te age.

Should be Elevate - they were the 3rd best team in the age group last summer - had good games with YJ and beat TG

And got run off the field by M&D so bad that the M&D goalie played the field in the second half.

Elevate is not as strong this year. They lost s bunch of starters and replaced with lesser talent.

Looks like Yj is the LI team to beat this year in this age. The Top Guns 2021 has all tiny girls, the physically can't hang with the larger and more athletic YJ team. TG Black will be lucky if they can beat the 2nd Yj team in this age division this year. But that is what happens when you choose teams based on politics. Right RD? You got "BS in your pocket" as you say.

NY team losing badly to TLC.

Best team on LI? How about best team period.

What are you talking about?

must be that loyala thing they were talking about. What team exactly are we talking about?

I assume you mean team to beat on LI? M&D is far and away best team in 2021

Were the 2020 Lady Rebels/ YJ/ TG at Loyola as well ? If so, does anyone know how they made out?

M&D 2020 beat 2020 lady rebels by 3 or 4

So much Speculation about Crossfire, Here's the real story and you can take it or leave it, I do not care.
Crossfire Is made up of mostly BBP and ESM, there are some Top Gun girls and some Yellow Jacket girls ALSO some girls from both who do NOT play any type of travel lacrosse, We have a few other girls as well from one or two other towns who are good friends of some of the girls and do NOT play travel lacrosse at all. The ONLY reason we went to Maryland under "Yellow jackets" was because to register for the tournament each girl had to have a US Lacrosse number, since the Yellow Jacket girls have one already, we couldn't register them under a different club name. We couldn't figure out how to change that without screwing up the girls with US Lacrosse numbers, so Mark asked Carol Rose if we could use the YJ name to make it easier to register and she said yes. So saying girls were moved around or dispersed around to make room or stick it to anybody is COMPLETELY false. We all paid our own way, rented our own rooms, purchased our own uniforms. We play together when the girls are free from their respective club teams and when the non club players are free from dance and any other activities they are involved in. We do not go get anyone else when some girls are not available, we simply do not go. we Play two maybe Three tournaments a year, Mostly in fall and we did the Shamrock Shootout this year. We were asked to play against a Maryland Red shirt team coming up soon, the Maryland Red Shirt team is up to watch an NCAA game at Hofstra I think. We are trying to get it together. SO that's it, That is the Story of Crossfire. Spin it anyway you want to, create any drama you want to, Go ahead, But reading all the posts speculating every possible scenario was quite amusing though.

Need some advice for my 2021 daughter on the North Shore of Central Suffolk. She is not really happy with her playing time on the B team Yellow Jackets, and is not able to get the ball from her "clicky" and far less talented PAL teammates. Is there some kind of middle ground team/ league where she can just play competitive games this summer, get in the game, get the ball, get better,and have FUN?? Thank you!!!

I don't know what you call it, but it was a total waste of everyone's time on Sunday. If you are going to bring a team of girls down here to play M&D, TLC and Redshirts, they should be able to play. M&D beat them 22-3 and Redshirts beat them 12-0. I know TLC beat them handily, but don't know the score. All three teams had league games early that morning and stuck around up to 4 hours to play in this game against what was promised to be a very skilled team. What a waste of a beautiful Sunday. I know there are quality players on LI, just a shame we didn't get to see them.

Was kind of thinking for something less competitive than TG or Elevate. Just a fun league with no trips but with girls who know how to play. But yes, we may jump the YJ ship at some point.
