I know there is some sports teams and activities one can do while in the Canadian Force, some of which is in the CF, but I am curious if it has to be a mainstream sport, and whether if one need to get permission from the CO. It would of course be dependent one's occupation, schedule, and where too.
In the last couple of years been part of a roller derby league, and completed my second season this past summer, while continuing to occasionally play with one of the travel teams against leagues of other cities. It is something I am really into and somewhat obsess about, and even if I have to put it on hold, I will try to get back into it schedule and location permits. Barring any crippling injuries, something I can see myself doing for many years to come as roller derby becomes bigger and bigger as sport.
I know there is some women in the CF and US military that play roller derby, yet also heard that some were disallowed to play due to their CO's perception that the sport as to high of risk for injuries base on lacking or/and outdated information. I am hoping I will not have to have that kind of restriction, as long it does not affect my duties.
So I am curious if anyone has faced such restrictions barring one from getting into sports or one of them while they are in the CF?
