About Us

More Than Basketball – Building Futures

Cali Rebels Basketball is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing student-athletes both on and off the court. Founded in 2009, our program provides a safe, structured, and empowering environment for young athletes in Los Angeles County, Orange County, and Riverside County. What started with just seven players has grown into a premier program, producing over 100 college student-athletes since our first graduating class in 2012—saving families an average of $160,000 in college tuition per athlete.

At Cali Rebels, we believe that basketball is a vehicle for education, mentorship, and personal growth. While we train elite-level athletes, we are just as committed to academic success, life skills development, and mental wellness. Our student-athletes don’t just prepare for the next game—they prepare for the next 40 years of their lives.
