What is Rebels Academy Rec Soccer League?
For this winter, we are changing up the way Rebels Academy works. Here's the new model:
The Rebels Academy Soccer League is a recreational league designed for kids ages 5 to 11. Each session is 75 minutes (15 minute mini practice, 25 minute halves) and blends skill development with small-sided 3v3 or 4v4 games, providing a fun and structured environment where players can grow at their own pace. Our focus is on maximizing touches on the ball, fostering teamwork, and developing confidence in a supportive, game-centered format. Join us for a season of learning and excitement while building a lifelong love for the game!
Rebels Academy Age Groups
These are the age groups that we currently offer. We do have space for older groups. If your child is older, send us a message to arrange a new group. Younger groups participate in our classes.
