Military regiment demands unique physical and psychological strengths on units and individuals. In order to be prepared for these challenges, it is necessary to create a fitness training structure. Sport too makes a vital contribution in the Defence Forces towards fighting spirit, morale, personality development and ultimately, operational effectiveness. It plays an important part in overall Military Life. Adventure Training is another invaluable asset to formal military training which supports values and standards of the Army. It enhances the individual’s ability to withstand the rigors of operations and rapid deployment. The College of Military Engineering places physical training, sports and adventure activities as one of the key focus areas.

A healthy mind resides in a fit body. CME is home to a wide range of sporting facilities. The College also has state of the art glass walled Squash Courts in which all Army championships are held. There are Badminton & Tennis courts, a newly laid Cricket pitch, and a No of Hockey & Football grounds which witness intense sporting activity every day. The Badminton courts, Swimming pool, Billiards & Pool tables are not only thronged by officers but ladies & children alike. A fully equipped Gymnasium and Health Club is also available. To add on to the list is a beautifully landscaped Golf Course.

We at CME cultivate the spirit of adventure. All types of adventure activities like Mountaineering, Cycling, Trekking, Hiking, Hang-Gliding and Sailing Cruises are encouraged in CME to develop the spirit of adventure in servicemen. A large number of expeditions have been undertaken in the past. An Ocean Sailing Expedition from Marve to Okha and back was fagged off on 27 Jan 2016.

The Corps of Engineers has always nurtured water sports. The College has a sailing club which draws student officers to this sport. Regular races are held to find talent & encourage this sport. The College is also the nodal centre for promotion of rowing and squash and regularly trains the National Rowing team. The Army Rowing Node has been established at the College with a magnificent eight lanes Rowing Channel. 19 out of the 22 rowers that formed part for the Indian Team in Incheon Asian Games were trained at the Army Rowing Node. One of our rowers Hav Dattu Bhokanal has been selected to represent India at the Rio Olympics. In addition, CME is also home to the Corps of Engineers Sailing Club.
