NJROTC Extracurricular Teams

• Color Guard - Team comprised of four cadets - two rifle bearers, National flag bearer, and Organizational flag bearer.

• Drill Teams- Requires practice and discipline to complete movements that are precise and sharp. The teams compete in both Unarmed/ Armed Basic and Unarmed/Armed Exhibition team competitions and regular meets.

• Cyber Patriot- Consists of between two and six competitors enrolled in the participating school or organization. While up to six students are permitted on each team's roster, a maximum of five students are permitted to compete at any one time during a competition round. The goal of every Cyber Patriot competition is to find and fix vulnerabilities in their images.

• Fitness Teams- Specialize in Push-ups, Sit-ups, and typically recruits fast runners for the relay at regular competitions. There may be opportunities to compete in strictly athletic meets.

• Orienteering - Teams of cadets that learn how to navigate the land using only a map and a compass. The team then divides into pairs to test what they have learned against other JROTC units.

• Marksmanship- Teams skilled in precision shooting using a designated air rifle to shoot at targets. Cadets participate in teams of four and individual shooting matches.
