Sports & Adventure as a Reserve

Opportunities for sport as a Reserve

Reservists have lots of opportunities to play sport, both within their unit and all the way to representing the Army in their chosen sport. The difference between the Reservists and Regulars Army is that you’ll do these in the evenings and weekends rather than during the day.

You can play team sports like football, rugby and hockey, or get involved in sports like orienteering, target shooting, skiing or polo.

You will also be offered the chance to get involved in Adventurous training. This is usually arranged by your local team and you don’t have to go, but many people jump at the chance!

You can also attend sports and adventurous training courses and even go on to gain instructor qualifications recognised by civilian employers.
