Renew the training at https://jkodirect.jten.mil if needed.

A: AKO emails did not go away. AKO email address should be set up to forward to the new DISA (@mail.mil) email address. AKO email addresses are required for email notifications for approvals and status updates. There is a place on the application to indicate additional email addresses.
Q: If selected will I receive PCS orders or change my MOS?
A: This is a SHORT TERM TDY opportunity (4 days to 3 months depending on the sport and your selection for higher competitions). This is NOT a change in MOS opportunity.
Q: When are applications due?
A: In order to be considered for the first/primary selections for a Trial Camp, your application should have processed through all approvals (Commander and Garrison Sports Director) prior to the deadline noted. If you are not on an installation, your application will skip the Garrison Sports Director and proceed to the Army Sports Office. Specific deadline dates are listed on the sports calendar for each sport.
Q: Can I send additional paperwork with my application?
A: Yes. You can attach your supporting documents (references, articles, pictures, websites, videos etc) within your application. You can email it to: usarmy.jbsa.imcom-hq.mbx.army-sports@mail.mil
Q: What sports are included in the All Army Sports Program?
A: All sports listed on the All Army Sports calendar are being offered. No additional sports are being looked at to be added at the present time.
Q: My sport is not listed, can it be added?
A: The inventory of sports is determined by 1) what is being offered at a significant number of installations to identify athletes for higher competitions and 2) participation from the other services. We cannot have an Armed Forces competition if the other services do not participate. The higher level competitions are the cream of the crops that represent their service so it's hard to get Soldier-Athletes at that level for some sports. You can talk to your garrison sports director to see if they know of opportunities at their level or off-post. No additional sports are being looked at to be added at the present time.
Q: My commander did not receive my application to approve?
A: Your commander will not receive your actual application to approve but an email with instructions on how to go into the same website you applied in. If your commander did not receive an email, please verify your commander's name and AKO email address is correct. If it is not correct, they will not be able to access your application. If it is correct, here is the information for your commander:

Q: What if a Commander needs a Soldier back early from the Army Trial Camp or higher level competitions?
A: If the Commander needs a Soldier back early, the Army Sports Office will make travel arrangements to have the Soldier back within 24 hours.
Q: When will I be notified to "Try Out"?
A: Selections will be made to attend Trial Camp from the information provided in the applications and contacting references, this is NOT a Try Out opportunity.

From the Armed Forces Championships, an all star team will be selected to participate in either a national or international competition.
Q: What happens if I am selected to an All Army Trial Camp?
A: Army Sports generates a selection message and sends it through each Region to the Garrison Sports Directors. Army Sports will contact all personnel not on an Army installation. Army Sports arranges for airline travel for most athletes. The Garrison Sports Office will prepare a DD1610 for your travel to the Trial Camp and sends it to Army Sports for funding approval. Army Sports will prepare DD1610 for all personnel not on an Army installation. This DD Form 1610 is required prior to your airline ticket being funded for travel. All lodging costs will be paid for by the host installation. Local transportation will be provided.
