Sport

1359 (Beeston) Squadron have a very strong sports presence across the wide & varied range of sporting events that are on offer in the Air Training Corps.

We want you fit and healthy and enjoying what you do, so sport has a vital part to play in achieving our goals. We help you to gain individual excellence as well as develop team spirit. The structure of the Air Training Corps means that we are able to have a healthy competitiveness within which cadets of all levels of ability can improve and record their achievements.

The Air Training Corps
has 7 key sports:

·Rugby
·Football
·Netball
·Hockey
·Athletics
·Cross- country
·Swimming

As a Cadet at 1359 Squadron you will have the chance to compete against other cadets at wing, regional and even national levels (Corps). If you are really good at a particular sport you may be chosen to represent the South and East Midlands Wing or even the Central and East Region and gain the coveted Wing and Regional ‘Blue’. Please see our Latest News for details on Cadets that have represented the Region recently for Athletics.

Like so many others, you may not be very sporty, but don’t worry, you don’t have to be the best at everything, all we ask is that you have a go and do your best. By just entering for an event in the Wing swimming or athletics you will gain points for the Squadron and that could be the difference between coming home with a team trophy or coming back empty handed!
