The "Big CSKA" had several teams in many sports, but now all of them are private clubs:
- For the football club, see PFC CSKA Moscow.
- For the futsal club, see MFK CSKA Moscow.
- For the ice hockey club, see HC CSKA Moscow.
- For the volleyball club, see VC CSKA Moscow.
- For the men's basketball club, see PBC CSKA Moscow.
- For the women's basketball club, see WBC CSKA Moscow.
VC CSKA and WBC CSKA were disbanded in 2009.
The CSKA has also been home to many elite figure skaters, including Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov. Elena Mukhina, a world champion artistic gymnast, was also a club member.

Famous quotes containing the word composition:
“I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
