NJROTC offers a wide variety of specialized teams, giving every cadet an opportunity to build technical skills, foster teamwork, and represent our unit in competitive events. Whether you are interested in physical challenges, academic excellence, or cutting-edge technology, there is a place for you to thrive and grow as a leader.

Our hands-on and technical teams allow cadets to engage with modern technology and tactical problem-solving. The Drone Team and SeaPerch Team dive into unmanned systems, focusing on aerial piloting, underwater robotics, and engineering principles. Cadets looking to build real-world digital skills can join CyberPatriot, where they learn cybersecurity defense by identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in simulated networks. If you enjoy outdoor strategy and navigation, the Orienteering Team teaches map reading, compass navigation, and land orientation as cadets race through challenging terrain.

For cadets seeking precision, discipline, and academic prestige, our competitive performance teams offer incredible opportunities for growth. The Field Meet Team challenges your athletic endurance, physical fitness, and drill precision in head-to-head competitions against other units. The Air Rifle Team focuses on marksmanship, extreme mental focus, and strict safety discipline as cadets compete in target shooting. Meanwhile, the Academics Team tests your knowledge of naval history, leadership principles, science, and current events, offering cadets a platform to excel academically and earn recognition.

Joining a team is one of the best ways to get involved, make lifelong friends, and enhance your overall NJROTC experience.
