About Us

Rebels Futbol Club is a youth travel soccer program founded on being a cost-effective alternative to the large, “business” model clubs. We started with 1 team and a handful of volunteers, and have grown to 15 teams supported by dozens of volunteers and US soccer licensed coaches, all while continuing to foster a family-oriented environment.

Our History

In 2014, Chadd Martin and Pete Fatone were coaching a local boys' team. As the club prepared their teams to move up to 11v11, it became clear that the team would be split up. Rather than leaving some players without a team, the coaches decided to create a new, independent club and team, the Rebels.

Inspired by the Euskaltel team colors in the Tour de France, the Rebels chose orange as their team colors.

What started as a single team to provide the players the opportunity to play soccer at a higher level while staying cost-effective, quickly caught on as the club grew each year. The club currently includes 15 teams but maintains the same mission.

Player and Parent Expectations

For Parents

Soccer parents gathered in a group on the field
  1. Positive encouragement is good; negative comments are bad. Praise good play (including opponents). If unsure of what constitutes a “good play”, ask Coach.
  2. Cheering is good, but do not INSTRUCT or YELL at your child or anyone else’s child during the game. It can be distracting & what you tell them might be wrong. If you would like to be an assistant, please contact Coach.
  3. Be mindful of what you say, perception, and others feelings. Remember: soccer is meant to be fun & these are children. Spectators should never become the ‘main event’.
  4. Be a good role model & a good sport (Win or Lose).
  5. Do not yell at Referees, Coaches, or other Spectators. Don’t boo, taunt, or cheer mistakes. Follow league rules on spectator placement (i.e. sit across from our team, don’t stand behind a goal, etc).
  6. Please don’t give Coach schedule updates before or after a game. We have communication tools for that, and it distracts from game preparation and match reflection.
  7. Don’t undermine the Coach. If you have a gripe, keep it to yourself, wait 24 hours, and contact Coach in a professional and respectful manner.
  8. Taunting, disruptive behavior, racial slurs, etc., towards anyone, will not be tolerated.
  9. Commitment is important to the chemistry and harmony of a team. Lack of commitment leads to resentment, creates additional work for the coach, and can lead to warnings or suspension. Examples of lack of commitment include:
    • Poor player attendance.
    • Not responding to team or coach communication.
    • Failing to proactively notify of a change in circumstance.
    • Missed registration deadlines.
    • Delays in remitting registration fees.
    • Not using team communication tools like TeamSnap to update player availability and status.

For Players

  1. Everyone must follow all directions given by the coaches & assistant coaches.
  2. One standard of effort the entire season: from 1st day of practice until the last game: Everyone must hustle, do their best, and work hard.
  3. When Coaches are talking, you must be still & listen.
  4. Coaches expect everyone to be a good sport whether we win or lose.
  5. Taunting, disruptive behavior, racial slurs, trash talking, etc., towards anyone, will not be tolerated.
  6. Remember: Coaches coach, players play, parents are positive, and referees make calls.
  7. Commitment is important to the chemistry and harmony of a team. Lack of commitment leads to resentment, creates additional work for the Coach, and can lead to warnings or suspension. Examples of lack of commitment include:
    • Not wearing your practice jersey to practice.
    • Not practicing passing & receiving skills, moves, and ball striking at home (i.e. homework).
    • Not putting in the effort to develop AND OR maintain match-level conditioning (i.e. match fit).

Discipline Policy:

Players and Parents are a ‘package deal’. While unlikely to occur, behavior that does not meet expectations will typically be provided a warning. Poor behavior can be grounds for BOTH Player and Parent being suspended from the team or Club. Don’t be that guy/gal that forces a Coach to use Suspension to restore harmony to their team.
