Junior Rebels Win Four Sunday to Claim Battle at the Beach Championship!

Mashpee, MA- The 9 & Under Rhode Island Junior Rebels finished the 2012 campaign on Sunday in the same fashion

that they started it: with a tournament win. The "Baby Rebs" stormed back through the loser's bracket to win four games on Sunday, three of which ended due to the tournament's "mercy rule". In the final game the Rebels defeated a familiar East Greenwich, RI team to take home the tournament championship.

The Rebels also won their first tournament of the 2012 season, defeating the Rhode Island Gators in the championship of the 2012 New England AAU Spring Classic Tournament in March.

In just one season, the Jr. Rebels have established their place as one of the elite programs in New England with strong showings in both the 9u New England AAU Regular Season and NEAAU Playoffs.

Congratulations to the Junior Rebels for an extremely successful first season, and thank you to the team coaches, and the new members of the REBELS FAMILY.

Team Members are: Ben Brutti, Scott Cromack, Owen Caldwell, Sam Craven, Sean Gardner, Henry House, Shane Jedsen, Andrew Mosher, Bennett Souza, Justin Walker, Carson Wallace, and Jack Wentworth.

REBEL FAMILY

2012 18 & Under Season Complete

Thank you and best wishes to all of the graduating members of the 2012 RI Rebels Program. The 2012 class is an extremely special one to the Rebel Program, having been the first class to spend each summer of their varsity careers with us. When we began the program, it was with their graduating class in mind, and they have achieved nearly every one of the goals that they had back in 2010 when we began.

The group started off as acquaintances with baseball in common, and formed a unique brotherhood by the end of the summer. It was special, and it has raised the bar for our program. While we take pride in what we have helped to teach these players over the years, we only can hope that they realize that we learned as much as, if not more from them.

Best wishes to this group of incredible young men, who created the phenomenon that is the #RebsFam.

2013 Rebels Teams Rosters and Schedules Announced!

"Without a doubt, RI Rebels Baseball created by Phil Davidson has been the best baseball program my son Ben has experienced to date. Ben has participated in a Rebels 60/90 Fall League program and currently plays for the 12U Rebels. Thanks to the expert coaching of Steve Breitbach, Jamie Degidio and Phil, Ben has not only rapidly progressed as a player but is learning to play the game the "right way". In addition, the integration of high-school-level Rebels as mentors and the continuous baseball-focused atmosphere at BombSquad Baseball has provided Ben with many positive examples of the hard work, effort and discipline required to play baseball at higher levels. As a parent, I would highly recommend the RI Rebels Baseball program to anyone serious about playing baseball. Phil, Steve, Jamie and the Staff truly care!"
