The winner of the state final then goes on to play in Bristol, Conn. for a chance to represent the Mid-Atlantic region in the Little League World Series set to begin on Aug. 16.
The Rebels won the Long Island Section 6 championship last year as a U-11 team, before falling short in the state tournament.
