    Thanks for your question.

    You will not be able to join a sports team until you complete basic training. There are a few reasons for this as follows:

    1. To minimise injury to you during training.

    2. You simply will not have the time as the training program is quite tight and it would put you at a disadvantage if you were to miss training periods.

    Your aim should be to get through basic training which will then open more options regarding sports. Some Initial Trade Training locations may have sports teams that you may be able to join. However, I would suggest that you wait until you are in the field army before joining a sports team.

    I hope this helps.
