CADET FITNESS AND WELL BEING

Junior Reserve Officer’s Training (JROTC) addresses the physical, emotional and cognitive needs of Cadets.  This program offers a full spectrum of curriculum and physical activities taught in the framework of a school setting.  Each JROTC Instructor is well trained and enthusiastic about assisting our Cadets in reversing the trend of obesity and health concerns in our children.  We create a well structured, safe and inclusive learning environment within the school system by coordinating a variety of physical activities such as:

Cadet Challenge.  300 Cadets compete twice a year in the following physical

events: Curl-ups, Pull-ups, Push-ups, V-sit Reach, One Mile Run, 50 Yard Dash and Shuttle Run

Conduct Special Teams Training.  Special Teams compete in Drill Competitions

throughout North Carolina and all across the United States.  Training is designed to increase muscle endurance, upper body strength and stamina.

Work with classroom teachers to reemphasize physical activities in the school. 

Students should be allowed to stretch and walk around when they begin to feel tired during class.

Coordinate after school physical activities and academic enhancement programs

with local community agencies.
