Sport in the Air Training Corps

The ATC offers a variety of sports to both male and female cadets. For males you can take part in Football or Rugby, for females you can take part in Hockey and Netball. Both male and female cadets can take part in Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country Running.

Sports such as football and Hockey are usually organized at Squadron level and cadets regularly take part in friendly matches against other Squadrons within their area. Athletics, Swimming and Cross Country are organized by Wing and Squadrons take part against each other to earn medals and the right to represent the Wing at higher levels of  competition.

Cadets who excel at sport have the opportunity not only to represent their Wing and Region but also to represent the Air Training Corps in competitions against other cadet forces such as the Arm Cadets and Sea Cadets.

As well as the formal sports where you can gain recognition for your Squadron, your NCO’s and staff will also arrange ad-hoc sports such as Volleyball, Badminton or five-a-side competitions between cadets on Squadron.

If you are interested in taking part in sport or representing your Squadron contact your Sports Officer for information about matches or when Wing Trials will be taking place.
