Football
90 (Speke) Squadron Compete in the Merseyside Wing 5-a-side competition every year. We practice alot before hand to improve our chances of winning. In the competition you compete against 29 other Squadrons of the wing. 90 Squadron continue to do well in the competition coming 2nd in 2007 with aspirations to win it in the future.
Rugby
For Rugby there is no squadron competition. To play, you must first go to Trials organised by the Merseyside Wing in which you can be picked for the team. Rugby is played at Junior and Senior Level (15 per side and 7 per side respectively). The competition usually takes place at an RAF station such as RAF Cosford. If you are seen to play well for the Wing team, you could further go on to represent our region (Wales and West) and even play at Corps Level.
Hockey
In the Hockey competition there is no age split, so we are respresented by a boys team and a girls team. Alot of preparation occurs beforehand with regular practices for all 90 Cadets to get involved in. Once the team is chosen they compete against the other Merseyside Wing Squadrons in a tournament. 90 has met success in past hockey tournaments, most recently in 2008 we won 1st Place Boys and 2nd Place girls.
Athletics
The Squadron Athletics competition is held every year in the Spring at a local track. 90 compete againstall other Squadrons in the Wing in a variety of events track or field.
