Sport & Adventure Training

The Corps currently has 35 sports and adventure training clubs, one of the perks of being such a large Corps is that there really is something for everyone! Regiments and RLC Clubs also frequently organise expeditions and tours worldwide.

Sport plays an integral part of regimental life across the Royal Logistic Corps. From mountain biking to football to swimming, you will find a variety of sports to choose from and actively participate in at regiments across the Corps. Open to all ranks, there is planned space within the weekly battle rhythm for personnel to participate in sports of their choosing. A great leveler of rank, you will often find soldiers competing alongside and against officers.

My introduction to Army Sport may have started 5 years ago, but since becoming a Regular Officer and joining the RLC I have had endless opportunity to compete. As an Army Cyclist I have had so much support from my chain of command and although I deployed to Germany for most of the race season on Op INTERLINK, an opportunity not to be missed, I still took my bike out with me and got as much training in as I could. Since being back I have taken the chance to give back and take soldiers on AT and am now out doing Nordic Skiing for the winter season, an amazing opportunity to lead a small team of soldiers and to train like a full -time athlete. Whatever it is you want to do as an Officer the choice is yours and it’s your responsibility to make the opportunity become reality, as long as you always give back to your soldiers and support your Regiment, they will support you back” Lt Nott

In my time at 4 Regiment Royal Logistic Corps I was fortunate enough to represent the regiment at X Country, Cricket and Football. In what proved to be a highly successful season, both the Football and Cricket teams won the Army Cup in their respective sports.

I’m sure I speak for all Regiments within the Corps, but certainly at 4 Regiment I found participating in sports to be highly supported by the CoC, all the way up to the Commanding Officer. Lt P Geary

Whilst at 17 Port & Maritime Regt RLC, I had the pleasure of organising Exercise BALEARIC WATCH 22, which saw the Corps Yacht sail from the UK to Palma, Majorca, where it was then used to conduct Offshore Sailing Adventurous Training. The exercise ran from March to November in 2022, and allowed c. 200 serving personnel from across the Corps and all three services to each partake in a week of AT. Aimed at all abilities, the Balearic Islands were the perfect setting to cater both to those learning the basics, and those with more experience, in a relaxed and scenic environment. Lt K Burton
