Competitive Teams

Competitive teams provide JROTC Cadets additional opportunities to lead.  Cadet leaders plan and conduct team training, then take charge and lead their team to victory.  Caver JROTC Cadets can choose to join athletic, academic, leadership, computer, and drill teams.  Teams usually practice after school, but it is up to the team Captain.
