Our Olympic Superstars
World & European Champion Richard Kilty
In April 2019 World & double European 60m champion Richard Kilty came to Dubai to help inspire the next generation of champions.
He delivered a high intensity, five day sprints workshop for some of our most talented young sprinters.
Olympic Bronze Medalist Marilyn Okoro
We were fortunate enough to have Team GB 800m runner & Olympic bronze medalist Marilyn Okoro join our team of coaches for our Great Britain Winter Camp 2018.
Marilyn was truly inspiring, and headed up our middle distance programme at the camp covering everything from 800m to 1500m.
Olympic Bronze Medalist Joel Fearon
In January 2019, it was great to work with Olympic Bronze Medalist, and one of the fastest men in the world Joel Fearon. Teaching all things speed!
Joel made an instant impact and helped inspired our young athletes to prepare better for competition.
Thank you to all the Team GB athletes that help support our programmes

Run, Jump, & Throw with AIS Athletics
In keeping with the promise, we are testing state-of-the art sanitization tunnels and thermal cameras for temperature checks within our school, to ensure the safety of all of our students, parents and staff at all times!
We are delighted to share the appointment of our 2020-21 Student Executive. The original pool of 15 candidates recently completed a series of interviews and a video pitch to the community, which was voted on by the secondary students and staff. We are very pleased to share that Emma Parisot and Shae Mckenna have been appointed as the Student Presidents and Mehr Jeswani and Tomaso Vigo will be the Student Vice-Presidents. We are sure you will join us in congratulating all of the recipients and wish them every success in their new roles.
To ensure that the journey of our students to and from school is up to the standards that promise, our entire bus fleet undergoes a thorough and regular deep cleaning and disinfection process. In addition, all of our drivers and bus guardians follow strict guidelines to ensure every bus is cleaned to the same high standards.
AIS Testimonials
Dean Winders – Director of Sport & PE at GEMS World Academy
I was introduced to AIS Athletics several years ago when they were just starting out in Dubai. Umar and his team were enthusiastic to engage with students and offer expert athletics training by experienced coaches, many of whom had been, or still are professional athletes. We jumped on board and AIS delivered. Not only did they deliver fun, challenging athletics training, but the also support GWA’s athletics squads, events and provided guest speakers for our Elite Athlete Program.
Ed Mosley – Head of PE at North London Collegiate School
AIS Athletics have always been passionate about providing quality experiences for children of ages. They are professional coaches and outstanding role models, many of whom compete at an elite level in track and field. Our students thoroughly enjoy AIS sessions. Furthermore, AIS Athletics have been big supporters in raising the standard of athletics teaching and coaching in Dubai through their professional development support for teachers across DASSA. This has most certainly improved provision for 100s if not 1000s of students.
Geraint Passmore – Director of Sport at GEMS International School
I have worked with and alongside Umar and AIS for a few years now. Since day one, I have been extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and enthusiasm Umar and the team show in every facet of their roles. I was introduced to Umar by a friend at another school, which is proof enough of how well respected he and AIS are in this region and beyond. We at GIS haven’t looked back since.
