Sports
As a cadet you can take part in seven main sports at different levels – athletics, cross country, football, rugby, hockey, netball and swimming, what ever you do we want to help improve your physical fitness levels and your team skills. If we can help you take it to the next level we will, there are frequent tournaments between squadrons, the best players are selected to represent our wing. The same then happens for the region, with wings competing against each other and the best players making up the regional team. If you make it through each of those levels then you’re good, really good. You’ll be getting your chance at representing the entire cadet corps, nationally and even internationally.
Working hard, playing hard and having fun!The Air Cadets is about working hard, playing hard and having fun doing it! We hope that you have as much fun playing sport with the corps and you’ll make friends from all over the country while you learn about yourself, your strengths and how to be part of a team. It doesn’t stop at the sports above. Squadrons including ours like to try to get cadets access to loads of different sporting activities we can. These could include 5-a-side, table tennis, volleyball, racquet sports or many others. As you can see from the photos the right, we’ve had opportunity for our cadets to do high ropes courses, try scuba diving and even equestrian courses. We like seeing you playing sports for fun but there’s nothing wrong with the chance to be wining medals and trophies for yourself if you’ve got a competitive side! No problem if you don’t think sport is your thing, we’ve lots of team activities and you may surprise yourself at being an upcoming next Olympic star, just take the opportunities and enjoy yourself! |
