Each season we hold tryouts / evaluations to provide every player the opportunity to join our program and to ensure we place our athletes in the best position to improve and to develop as a player. That is what we are about, development, improvement, and competition, all while in a fun environment. During each tryout, our professional coaches will evaluate each athlete during a skills and scrimmage session (with more focus on new players we do not know as well). Time may be permitted to hold a brief parent meeting to answer general questions not contained herein.

We have development opportunities for every player. Players who are ready for tournament play at the AAU/Club level are invited to participate in our team program. We also offer development programs (Skills, Clinics, Camps, Private & Small Group lessons) for players both in our team program and for players who are not placed in our team program.

We typically hold several tryout sessions each season. Within 24 hours of the 1st tryout, we will begin reaching out to our first round of players / families that we feel are the right fit for our team program. Your spot is secure for 24-hours, and then we will begin reaching out to the next round of players on our waiting list. Players should make a decision within 24-hours, and confirm by registering online via a direct link sent via email, and by submitting either their initial deposit or season tuition in full.

For our initial season, we hope to have at least one team for each grade for boys and girls. As our program grows, we plan to offer 2-3 teams seasonally for each grade for boys and girls. Players are selected to teams as a result of tryout evaluation, returning players, positional needs, potential and commitment level. Rosters are created to position players in the best opportunity to contribute, develop and enhance ability / confidence. For any players who don’t make a team, we have many player development programs available year-round to improve skills, build confidence and have fun while getting better for future seasons.

Team formats are typically 10-12 players per team. Each team is coached by a head coach and some teams also have an assistant coach. Teams will practice and participate in skills weekly. Teams play in tournaments on Saturdays & Sundays. Tournament times are released by the Thursday before each tournament weekend. A tournament list will be sent to you by your coach and may be subject to change. Practices are typically held Tuesday, Wednesdays and/or Thursdays. Skills nights are typically Mondays.

Practices & Skills will be held in Peabody or within 10-15 min of surrounding towns. Times are typically between 5:30p and 9:30p for most teams. Younger teams / grades skills / practices are generally early in the evening. Tournaments will begin within 2-3 weeks of the first practice. Tournament locations are generally within 45 minutes of Peabody. Top teams may travel out of state on one or a few occasions. Significant travel likely for top 7th-High School top teams in Spring and Summer seasons.

Every player must have a full REBELS Uniform, reversible jersey & shorts. Upon completion of tryouts and roster building, players will be notified of our Apparel Sizing & Ordering process. Apparel Packages are MANDATORY for some teams, and recommended for all players, includes pre-game shooter shirt, practice jersey and All In Hoops backpack or duffle bag.

Season fees range from ~$500-$1000 per player per season for team fees. You may pay seasonally. However, we offer a simple Annual Membership option for families to register, budget and save. This option can help save hundreds of dollars over the year while getting all the benefits of REBELS Basketball for one monthly charge of $195 a month (12-month commitment required).
