It's often unauthorized. What pros and cons do you see about this policy? Do you believe this can help Soldiers with fitness or morale?

I think they should be authorized either bi-weekly or monthly only because of the risk of injury. I feel like they do raise moral and even unit cohesion. My unit plays platoon vs platoon and it is usually good friendly competition.

I like that idea. It gives Soldiers something to look forward to. For a good while, my first unit played sports every Friday - ultimate football. THAT was a run day and it was bitter-sweet knowing how much fun you would have but also expecting to have a great time.

I think sports PT is as important as anything when it comes to morale. As long as it is controlled and is not abused I think it is a great way to break up the schedule and allow the Soldier to have fun and be competitive.<div><br></div>

I like it, especially when its plt on plt. Yes, there is a chance that people might get injured, but that's life.

I remember playing tackle football a few times. It always resulted in one or two body slams. Good times and it rarely got out of hand.
