The squadron offers a number of competitive teams as well as short- and long-term extracurricular opportunities for cadets. Typically, a cadet joins a team by contacting that team's officer to indicate their interest and to see if a position is available. Teams are not part of the cadets' mandatory training, meaning that they are optional to join, and participants are often held to a high performance standard. Every team works towards a specific goal, and this requires commitment on the part of the cadet - teams and extracurriculars are not drop-in programs.
