Executive Chair Royal Navy Winter Sports Association

June 2025

As the Chair of the Royal Navy Winter Sports Association, I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to you all. Sport is such an important part of building our fighting spirit, leadership and organisational skills in the Royal Navy and none more so than winter sports.  The RNWSA is dedicated to promoting winter sports and fostering a spirit of camaraderie, resilience, and excellence in our sporting endeavours.

 

Our Association provides invaluable opportunities for sailors and marines to engage in a variety of winter sports, across eight disciplines on the snow and ice. We aim to support both competitive and grassroots athletes, while also prioritising fitness and personal development. Through our work and activities, we seek to build strong friendships and lasting memories, emphasising teamwork and the core values of the Royal Navy.

 

Join us as we explore the exhilarating world of winter sports, celebrate our achievements, and inspire a new generation of military athletes. Whether you're an experienced competitor or curious newcomer, there's a place for you in the RNWSA. I am really looking forward to working with the competitors, coaches and officials across all the disciplines over the coming seasons and thank all of the teams for their incredibly hard work to make it happen.

Our Mission

The RNWSA aims to inspire and strengthen the Whole Naval Force—comprising Regular, Reserve, Civil Servant, Veteran, and Families—through participation in snow and ice sports. Their mission is to provide safe, inclusive, and cost-effective winter sports opportunities, enhancing resilience and resourcefulness while promoting personal development and team spirit. They strive for excellence in organizing events, competing successfully, and encouraging newcomers, all while maintaining robust safety measures to manage the inherent risks of winter sports.
