Special Teams

Special Teams are our program's extracurricular activities and teams, which help improve teamwork, communication, and leadership.

Cadets have the opportunity throughout the school year to join SPECIAL TEAMS. These teams train for competitions, demonstrations, and performances throughout the school year. These teams are very similar to being part of a Varsity or Junior Varsity Sport in High School and demand great dedication from the cadet.

We encourage all cadets to take advantage of the many teams that Butler JROTC offers. Keep in mind that each special team has its practice schedule, so make sure that you are familiar with it, and keep up with practices.

Cadets are required to maintain passing grades in all Academic Classes, hold a GPA of 2.8+, and have no record of ISS/OSS over the school year to participate in Special Teams. Team Coaches and Cadre members can ask for progress reports at any time from team members.

These teams include:

Athletics (Volleyball, Basketball, and Field Day)
Academic Team (JLAB, Bookstudy, and CyberPatriot)

Orienteering

Raiders

Raider Competitions are athletic competitions held at JROTC programs around the world. Events take place outdoors and usually consists of individual strength test (push-ups, tire-drag, obstacle course, etc.), distance team running events, first aid events, and some form of rope bridge construction/crossing.

Drill Team

Drill Team is a special team that is a marching unit that performs routines based on military drill that competes at drill competitions throughout the course of the school year. All drill teams must exhibit skills of discipline, bearing, snap, command, and control in order to be competitive within each event.

Marksmanship

The type of rifle marksmanship that is taught and practiced in the JROTC program is three-position air rifle shooting that is done with 4.5 mm (. 177 cal.) air rifles with the targets placed at a distance of 10 meters.

Field Day

Every school year, JROTC leadership prepares a field day to give the cadets a fun yet beneficial break from their normal work, as well as to get cadets from different periods together.

Volleyball

Volleyball JROTC cadets demonstrated their athleticism and teamwork at the annual JROTC CMS Volleyball Tournament. Despite facing significant training challenges, they overcame them to field an impressively competitive team.

Orienteering

The JROTC Orienteering team is a team built to help strengthen stamina and the ability to read a map. Teams of four must get to certain points in the right order as fast as they can to place in competition.

Archery

JROTC Archery Team cadets can experience discipline, patience, responsibility all while learning to focus with determination. JROTC Archery Instructors will be equipped to reach new cadets through this unique skill of archery.
