The New Market Rebels Baseball Experience

Visitors to Rebel Park get a lot of bang for their buck. In addition to thrilling exhibitions of skill and gamesmanship, fans are treated to a variety of fun and memorable experiences before, during, and after the game. It takes an enormous amount of effort to create and maintain the high quality family fun atmosphere that the Rebels organization provides for the New Market community. These efforts are sustained by the extraordinary dedication of the team management, the players, and lots and lots of volunteers. Here is a small glimpse of what makes the Rebel Park experience so magical.

Unending thanks go out to host families, concession and souvenir stand workers, musicians,ticket takers, the 50-50 raffle crew, webcast guests, those providing the post-game meals, our rabid fans, and so many others. YOU ARE the New Market Rebels!
