developmental league
The Rebels Carlsbad Developmental League offers a perfect stepping stone for young soccer players aspiring to competitive play. Our 2026 season kicks off in January 2026 and is open to players born between 2016 and 2022. We look forward to welcoming new and returning players to join us for a year of skill development, teamwork, and competitive play. Designed as an alternative to our full competitive league commitment, this program provides a more structured and challenging environment than recreational soccer, while still balancing commitment with other activities.
