Teams
Teams are an extracurricular activity and typically meet on school campus, but after school hours. Team participation is optional, but highly recommended as each cadet is required to either assist in a volunteer capacity or join a team.

Rifle Team
Rifle Team is dedicated to teaching and developing competition-style shooting. Cadets are taught the proper and safe way to shoot and handle air rifles. Each cadet is given a target sheet and try their best to get the most points from each hit on the target. Cadets must pass a rifle safety test before trying out for the team.
Service Learning
Service Learning is about doing projects to help teach cadets more about the environment that we live in. Cadets develop very good relationships with teammates while participating in these community-enhancing projects.
