Auchterarder Detachment ACF

Sports

Forever Football ? Hanker after Hockey ? May be you 're the next Linford Christie, in the Army Cadet Force you have the chance to do all these sports and more.

Throughout your time in the Army Cadet Force you will have the chance to take part in a number of sporting activities, from Football and Cross Country in the winter to all the Athletic events in the summer. If you are good at a sport you could represent the Battalion, or even the North of Scotland. Some Cadets have gone on even further and represented Scotland against Cadets from England, Wales and Ireland. The best of these teams can then be selected to represent the Army Cadet Force when it competes against other Cadet organisations within the UK. If you have a passion for sport the Army Cadet Force will allow you to develop that sport and give you the chance to compete at a national level.

I never dreamed I would be able to represent Scotland in Cross-country but I have.
I would never have had this chance if it wasn't for the Cadets.

In addition to the more popular sports you could also have the opportunity to take part in Swimming and Hockey at National level and most Detachments also have fun sports nights. During one of these nights you could be involved with sports such as Basketball, Indoor Hockey or Aerobics, and if they are still too energetic for you how about Darts, Table Tennis or Table Football. You will always find another Cadet interested in the same sports as you, and in the words of the sports commentators "Let the games begin".

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt 1910
