Physical Fitness

Physical fitness is an important part of everything a cadet does, from marching in a band, to readying a glider for take-off or climbing a mountain. Cadets learn that being healthy helps them to participate fully in all activities and to enjoy them more. Sensible living, healthy eating and the importance of living an active lifestyle soon become second nature to cadets, just like ironing their tunics, saluting properly and polishing their boots.

Whether competing individually or as a team, drawing on their strength and endurance to master a challenge or just playing a game for old-fashioned fun, cadets learn the value of physical fitness.
