Physical Training is a major part of the NJROTC Program at Mechanicsville High School and constitutes 15% of each students grade

One of the major goals of the NJROTC Program is to instill within cadets an appreciation for the benefits of physical exercise and a desire to develop a personal physical fitness program to remain fit for life. Toward that end cadets participate in physical fitness training each Thursday and Friday weather permitting. These activities include: stretching, calisthenics, running, and various sporting activities. Once per quarter cadets will be provided an opportunity to participate in the Physical Fitness Test and earn awards for specific levels of achievement.
