Sports and Adventure Training
In accordance with the overall UAS syllabus, there are many opportunities for Officer Cadets to participate in inter-UAS sports competitions and adventure training expeditions.
The UASs hold annual sporting competitions such as;
- The Balti Cup (Football)
- Rugby 7s
- Hockey
- Rowing
- Bisley Shooting Competition
Additionally, there are frequent squadron expeditions in areas such as the Lake District, Force Development Training Centre Fairbourne, and overseas in countries such as Italy, Spain and Canada. These 'expeds' can include all manner of AT, such as mountain biking, rock climbing, abseiling, white water rafting, dog sledding, coasteering, gorge walking, canoeing, and many more.

“I am not a suffragist, nor do I believe in “careers” for women, especially a “career” in factory and mill where most working women have their “careers.” A great responsibility rests upon woman—the training of children. This is her most beautiful task.”
