Physical Recreation
This section
of the award involves participation in physical activity with
the aim of showing progress and improved performance. Cadets
must achieve set goals to complete this section.
Many cadets choose to do Physical
Achievement, however, there are many other options open. Which
option a cadet takes depends largely on the level of support
available on individual squadrons or whether the cadet is
already participating in a sport or activity outside of cadets.
Some examples of the other
Physical Recreation options are:
|
|
- Archery
- Athletics
- Basketball
- Caving
and Potholing
- Cross Country
Running
- Hang Gliding
- Rock Climbing
- Rugby
- Swimming
- Tennis
Completing the Physical Recreation section requires cadets to achieve
a minimum number of points in their chosen activity, for Bronze,
24 points, Silver 30 points and Gold 36 points. Participants must
also have shown effort during their qualifying period, made progress
based upon their initial ability and shown overall improvement.
