TRYOUT UPDATE / MIDGET 15U, 16U & 18U

We are please to announce that our Rebels midget teams will again work with our partner organization the Long Island Royals 
Our 15 u Rebels team will have the opportunity to compete as Royals in the 15 u national division of the AYHL.  Since 15 u at AA does not have a national tournament this team will be eligible to compete for the state championship 
It is expected as in the past that 16 u will compete for AA national championship and play in the AYHL American Division 
It is also anticipated that 18 u will do the same 
The final decision to compete in the AYHL will be made after tryouts when the team strength is assessed 
There will also be a Hawks 16 u team that will be made up of both 2009 and 2010 birth years - anyone who is not selected for the Rebels Midget 15 or 16 teams as described above will be invited to tryout for the hawks 16 u 
The hawks team will compete in the LIAHL Milner AA bracket and will be eligible to compete in the T3 state championships

This past June, Briana Ponzini-Britt 29-year-old, wife of the 15u Long Island Rebels Coach Paul Britt, was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor.

Briana was a full-time teacher at St. Mary’s in East Islip as well as a substitute teacher before she had to leave teaching due to previous pregnancy complications. Briana has been out of work for over 2 years as her and her husband Paul continued their dream to start a family.

This past June, Briana and her husband welcomed a healthy baby girl Blakely. Tragically, shortly after giving birth Briana was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a rare grade 4 DIPG brain tumor. DIPG is an aggressive and inoperable brain tumor that is very difficult to treat.

With a newborn daughter, mounting medical expenses and a long road of treatment ahead for Briana, we ask for your support for the Ponzini-Britt family. On behalf of the Long Island Rebels Family, we would like to thank everyone for your continued prayers and support during this very difficult time.

Please come out and support the Britt Family on February 12, 2025!  We would love to see you there!
