• Color Guard - AFJROTC presents our Nation’s colors at many events at Bellbrook High School and the community.  Color Guard practice provides extra practice in drill for cadets that may need a little more training.  Cadets also learn to present the colors (flags) properly and how to handle the rifle.  If a cadet is absent from class on drill day, they can make up the participation credit by attending a Color Guard.

• Raider's Practice - Competition team that will compete in events in the fall.  Cadets will participate in physical fitness activities and practice for team events that may occur in Raider's meets.  If a cadet is absent from class on physical fitness day, they can make up the participation credit by attending a Raider's practice.

• Fitness Club - Provides an additional opportunity for cadets to participate in health and wellness activities in addition to the weekly physical fitness training.  Raider's team members are highly encouraged to also attend fitness club.  If a cadet is absent from class on physical fitness day, they can make up the participation credit by attending a fitness club.

• Drill Team - Competition team that will compete at events in the spring.  Cadets who wish to be selected for one of the teams (Color Guard, Inspection or Individual Drill Requirement) will need to attend practice regularly.  If a cadet is absent from class on drill day, they can make up the participation credit by attending a Drill Team practice.
