Sport

Martial art

Sport is an important part of Army life.

All soldiers who are keen to pursue a sporting interest can do so - whatever their ability. This includes the injured and disabled, who are able to participate in sport through an initiative called Battle Back. They train with and compete alongside the able-bodied, as all Battle Back activities are integrated into able-bodied programmes.

The best athletes in the Army can compete internally and also at a Combined Service level against Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and civilian teams.

'Elite' athletes are given encouragement and assistance to compete at the highest level possible!
