The Australian Air League believes that the physical well-being of its members is just as important as academic and leadership training, and to that end Cadets are encouraged to take parts in a number of sporting activities such as athletics, swimming and so on. To encourage participation, Sports Carnivals and Swimming Carnivals are held in each Group, which are fun, friendly events where participation and joining in are just as important as winning.

Even the Officers and parents get involved, with competitions at the Athletics Carnivals for the slightly older members too!

Squadrons and Wings also hold regular outings and competitions such as bowling days, table tennis, billy cart races and the like. As with other activities in the Air League, badges are awarded to Cadets for ability to encourage them to strive to do better.
