About
Rebels Soccer Club is a Southern California club rooted in Chula Vista and organized as a multi-campus network that reaches from Coronado and coastal North County through East County, the San Gabriel Valley, and other affiliate locations. Since 1982 the organization has built programming around player development, competitive opportunity, and a culture of resilience, respect, risk-taking, and professionalism. Membership runs on the order of two thousand active players, and many athletes move on to college soccer each cycle.
What the club offers
The Junior Academy introduces younger players with age-appropriate training, licensed coaching, and an environment aimed at confidence, coordination, and core soccer ideas. The competitive program targets dedicated players who want structured training, licensed staff, and year-round games with advanced technical, tactical, and mental work. ECNL and ECNL Regional League teams train and compete at the top of the youth pathway with a high-performance environment oriented toward college and beyond. Zone 3 boys and girls lines cover U15 through U19 with tiered evening tryout blocks that mirror the club’s field layout for older age groups. Specialized goalkeeper training runs for keepers who want position-specific work at multiple levels. Beyond youth, Rebels fields men’s UPSL and women’s WPSL teams so college-age players, recent graduates, and aspiring professionals have a bridge into adult competition with national exposure.
Where families train and play
Rebels runs a unified affiliate network across Southern California so families train or compete under the same umbrella at different campuses depending on program and geography. The main Rebels SC campus centers on the Chula Vista area while additional footprints include East County, Carlsbad, Coronado, Central, San Gabriel Valley, and North campus brands, each with region-specific program contacts and schedules. For the 2026–2027 evaluation window, scheduled tryouts for many older boys and girls groups use Southwestern College at 900 Otay Lakes Road, Chula Vista, CA 91910, with separate field assignments for grass, turf, and stadium venues by age band.
Tryouts, age groups, and registration
Tryouts for the 2026–2027 season target boys and girls from U10 through U19, with ECNL and ECNL RL sessions scheduled April 20–23, 2026, and staggered evening start times by birth-year band. Boys ECNL and ECNL RL evaluations run Tuesday and Thursday; girls ECNL and ECNL RL run Monday and Wednesday, with U13 and U14 groups on the upper grass field, U15 and U16 on Turf 1 and Turf 2, and U17 through U19 at the stadium, each with staggered evening time slots. Zone 3 boys U15–U19 use the same Tuesday-and-Thursday pattern with parallel field assignments; Zone 3 girls U15–U19 follow Monday and Wednesday. Birth years from U6 through U19 follow an August 1 cutoff matrix the club uses for tryout planning. Families must pre-register through PlayMetrics so directors can place each athlete with the correct age group and coaching staff; if a family cannot attend the scheduled night, they should still register and directors arrange an alternate evaluation.
Mission and development philosophy
The mission is to develop young athletes who play with identity, passion, and respect while opening doors to success on and off the field. Year-round coaching grows creative players from small-group fundamentals into collective team play, with heavy emphasis on technique and decision-making. Rebels treats its role as shaping confident young people through hard work, respect, and community—not only producing soccer players. Core values spell out resilience, respect, courage in problem-solving, and professional habits such as consistency and composure.
How families can connect
For tryout registration questions tied to boys programming, email the boys director at oflores@rebelssoccerclub.com. For girls programming, email the girls director at amartinez@rebelssoccerclub.com. Registration and program signup run through PlayMetrics using the club’s open signup flow for the active tryout cycle. Social channels under the Rebels SC brand share community updates, but program-specific timing and placement conversations still flow through directors and the registration system.
