Sports

Physical fitness is important for military personnel. There are outstanding sports and physical fitness facilities on every base. For a small fee, family members can use these facilities during specific hours.

The PSP Recreation Programs offer innovative leisure activities to meet the needs of CF members and their families. Each Army base and CF location offers a diverse mix of activities, all designed to promote wellness and enhance the time that families spend together.

For more information on Recreation and Youth programs and services, please contact the National Recreation and Youth Services Manager at 613-995-7802, the National Recreation and Youth Services Coordinator at 613-992-4642, your local PSP community recreation office, or visit the CFPSA website.

The CF National Sports program plays a prominent role in promoting fitness and good health within the military community. Sports inspire CF members to improve their physical fitness and build their leadership and self-discipline skills.  They also promote teamwork, loyalty and commitment.

At every base and wing, there are intersection, intramural or local sporting events for all levels of athletes.  Regional level winners go on to compete at one of the 14 CF National Sports Championships held throughout the year.      

For more information on sports programs visit your local facility or the CFPSA website.
