Do all cadets participate in the athletic program?
Yes. All cadets are required to participate in the athletic program, which includes both physical education courses and competitive sports. Athletic participation contributes greatly to those attributes normally associated with the development of Air Force leadership potential. Participation helps you develop courage, initiative, team spirit and the will to win. Most cadets find that they enjoy sports as a release from academic schedules – and many become skilled beyond their expectations. Just as in academics, cadets are required to maintain a 2.0 Physical Education Average (PEA) to graduate. The PEA is a composite score of a cadets physical education class, physical fitness test scores, and aerobic fitness test scores.
