WELCOME TO REBEL ATHLETICS
WHO ARE REBEL ATHLETICS ? - We are a new company with new ideas and a new approach to Athletics ,Athletic meetings and most importantly the Athlete.!!
WHAT DO REBEL ATHLETICS DO ? - We like to do things differently. We organise and arrange events throughout the UK primarily focused on the young up and coming athletes by giving them a chance to be mentored at a "Rebel Camp" by some of the UK's top class and World Class Athletes. We try to stay away from the top coaches as the analogy is simple - " Would you rather drive a race car with Michael Schumacher's Coach in the passenger seat or Michael Schumacher ?" Its just as much about the Experience as it is the learning. Although we are arranging a few "Rebel Camps" with top coaches too because we didnt want them to feel left out :-) !!
Rebel Athletics also organise the "Rebel Xtreme" athletics meetings where the younger athletes get to compete in the same event as their idols and heroes. That doesn't happen in many sports now does it !
WHAT IS A REBEL XTREME EVENT ? - An Xtreme Event is a singular focus event created with some very special ingredients. We took a huge injection of excitement, mixed it with a great big dollop of passion, ground in a lot of incentives, and blended it with some great athletes along wiht the special ingredient of competition and then let it simmer. The end result is Xplosive!!!!! It is run as an OPEN meeting and it is a knockout tournament resulting in a Best of the Best final.
The whole point behind the Xtreme events are to firstly run events for like minded athletes. So there is the "Sprint Xtreme", "Throws Xtreme", and a "Jumps Xtreme" currently. Then we have tried to compact it, so it is fast, furious and exciting and then we have put up prizes and medals at all levels. It also means that top athletes can pop along on a Friday or Saturday evening, run, win and go home with a pocket full of cash and the younger athletes get medals, vouchers and the chance to compete with the Big Boys (and Lady's of course) !!
WHAT ARE THE INCENTIVES AT AN XTREME EVENT ? - We have introduced a financial reward for the over 17's which are classed as the Elite. The winners of the Elite finals will be awarded £500 cash, 2nd place will get £200 cash and 3rd will receive £100 cash.This will span across all the events. All The U17's age groups will be awarded Medals along with Sports Vouchers for 1st, 2nd and 3rd down to the U11's. This we feel is so important as there are so many children that put in amazing effort and training to compete at an athletics event at the weekend, Win and go home with nothing (apart from the obvious winning, personal achievement, etc) but generally all they look forward to is seeing their result on the Power of 10 web site. So it is important for every winner to take something home with them.
WHO CAN ENTER AN XTREME EVENT ? - The answer is simple.....but you need to read all this first. We do not have any pre requisites, We do not beleive or entertain politics in the sport, there are no qualification criteria, if you can run you can race. There are far too many what we like to call Paper Athletes (Everybody in the sport that isnt actually a competing athlete or a Coach) that think they are far more important than they are. They make there presence felt and for some strange reason are very influential and yet they ALL, every single one of them forget about the Athlete. How can Red Tape and Toffee nosed opinions stop people from competing in what is a physical natural form.
You cant stop a man from running. You cant stop a child from throwing. You cant stop a person from jumping !!!!!!!!!! So Rant over.....ANYONE CAN COMPETE, ITS ABOUT THE ATHLETE AND NOTHING ELSE !
WHAT IS A REBEL CAMP ? - This is our highly successful mentoring/coaching days with top UK Athletes. We recently ran a Sprint Camp with Dwain Chambers to launch his new athletics academy 'Chambers of Sport' which was a huge success. The Rebel Camp is where we enlist the help of a top athlete to train, assess, mentor, a group of 20 young athletes for the day. The young athletes get to see and be taught the 'real' way to do things not how somebody has been taught to coach from a book. This may not be the 'correct' way as far as many coaches are concerned but if that mentoring athlete is at the top of his game then who are we to argue !! in fact who is anybody to argue....simple !!
The attendees also get to ask questions that they can never find the answers for. They get to find out about top training regimes, pre contest diets, anything they want and if they only learn 1 thing from the whole day then it has been worth it and a success !! IF YOU ARE AN ATHLETE that is ranked in the Top 10 on the Power of 10 and you would like to get involved as one of the MENTORS then please contact us ASAP.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU OFFER ? - Athlete PR, Athlete Management, Event Management basically Anything you want. We are like a Dream Machine. If you want it, then we try to make it happen. It might be expensive, it might not, some people may have said it is impossible but if it can be done it will be done.The easy answer is Just Ask us.
WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS ? - We would love to play a part in 2012. We would love to see Dwain Chambers run in 2012. Our ambition is to create opportunities for athletes at all levels that they might not of been able to achieve without Rebel Athletics.
CAN WE ASK REBEL ATHLETICS TO DO AN EVENT FOR US ? - Absolutely !!
