Blog #1 3/25/2022 : The start of Rebel Cornhole

Rebel cornhole was started in a small rural town south of Corpus Christi, Tx with the aspirations to start something different and unique in the cornhole community. As a player myself I started almost a year ago at a local blind draw in McAllen,Tx after looking around on social media to see if there were actually any cornhole clubs near my wife’s hometown, I found a club named 956 cornhole and thought, “hey this sounds fun let me check it out “. Arriving to the venue without a single idea how intense the atmosphere was and how underprepared I came in. The guys greeted me with kindness and respect showing me the ropes of the scoring system and the rules of the game. Coming from just a backyard player setting this really intrigued my interest on how fun and competitive this game was and after leaving that day with a 3rd place finish I felt like this is something I could see myself doing all the time. Over time I got my own gear, boards and even traveled to tournaments around other cities in Texas. This sport has really brought joy to not only me but many others seeking an outlet from work, home or even their personal lives to just go out and throw some bags and meet new people. Finding this new hobby of mine was completely unforeseen, as I was just trying to make a statement to my uncle (who also plays competitive) that was telling me a bunch of crap after beating him saying, “ you won’t even get close to winning against the guys I play against”. So getting that thought in my head I searched around the area and found out the sport was bigger than I ever anticipated. And here we are a year later my wife and I starting our business as rebel cornhole. The name was very fitting for our company and the sport  showing that you don’t need to be a top athlete, the strongest or the fastest person to become best players. Gender, age or size plays no factor on how far you can get in this game. You just need to have some passion and dedication to master this very simple game that has become a nationally recognized sport.So you can say that cornhole is a sport Rebelling against the standardized sports we all grew up seeing everyday. As we continue this journey as a company and myself as an competitor we will post weekly of new things coming out and even my personal life with traveling and playing local tournaments. Thanks for starting this journey with us as we continue our new venture as Rebel cornhole. Reach out to us if y’all ever have any questions and thank you for y’all’s support!
