The San Diego Rebellion is a women’s football team made up of nearly 50 players. The roster includes both former and currently active-duty service members. The team says it is “rewriting the playbook” and is looking for more ladies to join.
The Rebellion is intentionally diverse. Players come from different ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. That mix gives the team a wide range of skills on and off the field.
Military experience is a notable part of the roster. Former and active-duty service members bring discipline, teamwork and leadership to practices and games. Those traits shape the team’s approach to training and competition.
The phrase “rewriting the playbook” reflects a broader goal. The team aims to change expectations about who plays football and how teams operate. They emphasize inclusion, hard work and a strong team culture.
Recruiting is a current priority. The Rebellion wants more women to try out, whether they are new to the sport or have previous experience. New players can expect structured practices and support from teammates.
As the season progresses, the team hopes to grow and compete while building community on and off the field. For now, the focus remains on developing players and expanding the roster.
