Sporting activities form a large part of the activities of the Air Training Corps.

Air Cadets have a wide range of sports to choose from, both in team activities and individual events and can participate in sports at various levels, gaining recognition for themselves, their Squadron, Wing, Region and can even be selected to represent the Corps.

These include:

Athletics. This is by far the most popular sport that the ATC participates in.

Cross-Country is competed at all levels, right up to Corps level. The courses are normally between a mile and a half to three miles.

Swimming is the most successful event.

Football - 11-a-side football is only played by male cadets and is played under the official rules of the FA.

Netball is played by female cadets only. The sport is played under the rules of the All England Netball Association.

Rugby is only played by male cadets within the Air Cadets. All games are played under the rules of the Rugby Football Union.

Hockey is played by female cadets only and are governed by the rules of the Hockey Association.

All these activities are so enjoyable and everybody gets to meet new friends.
