At FLAME, students can pursue their academic and sporting interests just as well. Sports are a mandatory activity for all first year students. FLAME encourages its students to compete; to taste victory; to swallow defeat and grow as individuals.

FLAME has a football ground, international size cricket ground, tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, a martial arts dojo and an outdoor swimming pool. It is one of the few campuses in India with access to a golf course. FLAME also has a floodlit indoor sports hall with facilities for badminton, snooker and table tennis.

FLAME is one of the few education institutes in India that offers its students a 18-hole golf course adjacent to its campus. FLAME students enjoy all the facilities offered by this international standard golf course. Par 72, and covering 7020 yards, the course was designed by Pacific Course Design, Melbourne, Australia. It offers the chance to FLAME students to learn or improve their game from top international and Indian coaches. 

Sports facilities are provided free of charge to students, except for horse riding, martial arts and golf. The charges for these are highly subsidized and offer the students an opportunity to learn the sport.

Coaching may be provided for sports such as swimming, badminton, basketball, football, martial arts, horse riding, volleyball and fitness gym.

Every year FLAME hosts a number of special sports events, including both intra and inter-collegiate sports competitions, seminars from top sports instructors and coaches, and a martial arts tournament involving teams from across India.
Leveraging on the excellent sports facilities, FLAME inaugurated its first inter-collegiate sports competition called Kurukshetra. Thirty different colleges participated in this event, with approximately eight hundred people coming to campus to participate and cheer for their home teams.
