SHAPE: SACEURS Sports is Back!

Want to get involved? All you need to know is right here….


After many years of finishing dead last, forfeiting events due to not having a team, losing miserably, the UK Contingent pulled together and entered a team into every single event in 2024. Although it was a slow start to the year, with time and dedication Team GB excelled and finished 3rd overall!


This year, the format of the SACEURS Cup is changing; they are running it from September to September which will allow the presentation to be on the morning of SHAPEFEST and hopefully be presented by SACEUR himself. Consequently, 2025’s competition is a short one and will end with Superstars again but this year in August!
The schedule this year (subject to change) is: 
 
11th Feb – Volleyball
04 March – Orienteering
25th March – Swimming
15th April – Ultimate Frisbee
20th May – Football (7 a Side)
24th June – Racket Sports (Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton, Squash, Pickleball)
26th Aug – Superstars
SHAPE FEST – Presentation
 
2025/2026 Competition will then begin with Bowling 23rd September.

If you can compete at any of the above sports to a decent standard get in touch with Team GB’s Captain Martyn on martyn.williams624@mod.gov.uk

Military and Civilians can compete, so if you have a dependant who has a SHAPE ID and is over 18 and is an absolute demon at ultimate frisbee, they can take part!
