 1-1. LEGAL AND REGULATORY BASIS.

a. Public Law 88-647. The authority to operate Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFJROTC) in secondary schools is The Reserve Officer Training Corps Vitalization Act of 1964. The Director, AFJROTC, located at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, administers the AFJROTC Program.

b. AFJROTC Instruction 36-2001. This instruction prescribes the operation of AFJROTC units and instructors.

7

 

 

NC-20052

c. The Superintendent of Onslow County schools signed a contract with the Air Force to offer AFJROTC at Northside High School. The Superintendent agrees to limit membership in the units to students who maintain an acceptable standard of academic achievement and conduct.

1-2. MISSION. Our mission is to “Develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community.”

a. Goals. The goals of the program are to instill values of citizenship, service to the United States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment in high school students.

b. Objectives. The objectives of the AFJROTC Program are to educate and train high school students in citizenship; promote community service; instill responsibility, character, and self-discipline; encourage physical fitness; and provide instruction in aerospace fundamentals.

 1-3. CURRICULUM.

a. Aerospace Science classes are elective courses. Cadets earn one elective credit per semester. Cadets normally take only one semester of AFJROTC per year; however, cadets are eligible to participate in AFJROTC activities for the entire year. A cadet may request to take two AFJROTC courses in one year if they are catching up to be able to take 4 courses during their high school career.

b. Academics include lectures, individual and group work, and practical evaluations. The academic curriculum is team taught by the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI) and the Aerospace Science Instructor (ASI). Friday is normally devoted to physical training (PT) and team-building activities. Uniforms are normally worn every Wednesday.

1-4. PROGRAM BENEFITS: The most important benefit of AFJROTC is the self-esteem and self-confidence cadets gain from individual and group accomplishment. These accomplishments come from taking advantage of the opportunities the program offers for personal growth.  

a. CADET RANK. Cadets are given a minimum rank based on their time in the program. They earn increased rank based on participation and performance. Increased rank is a visible sign of the cadet’s level of performance and willingness to accept increased responsibility.

b. AWARDS AND DECORATIONS. Cadets compete for awards and decorations. Several national organizations sponsor awards for superior performance in Junior ROTC programs. In addition, cadets earn ribbons that they wear on their uniforms based on their academic performance, demonstrated leadership skills, physical fitness, participation in service projects and participation in special AFJROTC activities, such as the Drill team or Raider team.

c.  CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION. A Certificate of Completion is presented to cadets who have completed three successful years of the program and are in good standing, as determined by the SASI and ASI.

8

NC-20052

d. MILITARY ENLISTMENT BENEFITS. If a student completes three years of AFJROTC and is in good standing, that student may, in accordance with DODI 1205.13, be eligible for enlistment at a higher grade. For specifics, refer to Air Force Recruiting Service Instruction (AFRSI) 36-2001, Recruiting Procedures for the Air Force.

e. COLLEGE AFROTC BENEFITS. If a student completes four years of AFJROTC and is in good standing, that student may be eligible to bypass the first year of college AFROTC. For specifics, refer to specific college AFROTC requirements.

10

NC-20052

probation. A cadet can be removed from the program for multiple offenses. A hearing may be held for a cadet who is on probation to discuss whether they will continue in AFRJOTC or not. The SASI, ASI, and Administration will discuss and decide the placement of a cadet within the program. Their decision is final and a cadet will receive written notification of that decision.

CHAPTER TWOCadet Evaluations

 2-1. GENERAL. This chapter specifies general requirements for successfully completing AFJROTC courses. Each course is designed for students to succeed. If cadets have a positive attitude, work hard, comply with course requirements, and see instructors when they need help, then the cadet should successfully complete AFJROTC.  2-2. GRADING POLICY. Cadets are evaluated on academic performance, uniform wear, and physical training.

1. Academics. Academic performance is measured by tests, quizzes, class-work, homework, and drill evaluations.

a. Tests will be given on Leadership and Aerospace Science, as well as drill, school rules, cadet manuals, and chain of command. Speeches and written reports will also be graded as Tests.

b. Class-work/homework includes assignments in Leadership, Aerospace, drill, and drill evaluation. Late assignments will receive reduced credit and will only be accepted prior to being tested on the material. Additionally, all AS4 cadets are required to complete a senior project.

2. Uniform Wear. Instructors will inspect cadets for compliance with uniform wear requirements, personal grooming standards, and inspection knowledge one day each week. Wear of the uniform one day per week for AFJROTC Program is mandated by Federal law. If a cadet is absent on the day scheduled for uniform wear, then the cadet must wear their uniform the first day they return to school. If a cadet does not make up their uniform wear for the week, they will not be eligible for promotion. Wear of the uniform is so important that not wearing the uniform twice will result in an automatic “F” for the semester. In addition, cadets who fail to maintain grooming standards will not be eligible to wear their uniform, thus resulting in a failing grade. Cadets are required to sign a statement acknowledging their understanding of this policy. Also, cadets must wear the physical training uniform each week.

3. Physical Training. Cadets will participate in physical training one day each week. AFJROTC Cadet Health/Wellness Program is designed to help cadets improve their physical fitness. All enrolled cadets will complete the Presidential Fitness Challenge (PFC) at least twice during the semester. All physical activity sessions will be supervised and monitored by at least one of the instructors. These sessions include walking, running; and calisthenics exercises. Each semester all enrolled cadets will complete a one-mile run, push-ups, and sit-ups (curl-ups) as part of their grade.

12

NC-20052

All AS-4 cadets will complete a timed 1.5-mile run as part of their fitness assessment. The AFJROTC instructors are trained in administering CPR, if needed.

2-3 GRADING SCALE. A = 90-100B = 80-89C = 70-79D = 60-69F = 59 and below

2-4. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. AFJROTC offers a variety of after school voluntary programs. Cadet participation in these activities is not a formal part of the cadet’s grade; however, cadets may receive promotion points for participation.  

Note: Cadet participation is a key element in the AFJROTC Program.  2-5. TUTORING. If a cadet falls behind in his/her studies, has a problem comprehending the course material, or has difficulty applying leadership studies, he/she should see an instructor for extra help. Each instructor is available after school or during Power Hour for tutorials and additional instruction/practice. However, cadets are expected to take the initiative and ask for help. 2-6. PARENT CONFERENCES. We encourage parents to call or visit the school to discuss their cadet’s progress. Please call the office (910) 455-4868 to schedule an appointment. We may also be reached through email:

CHAPTER THREECadet Corps

 3-1. GENERAL. All cadets enrolled in AFJROTC are members of the corps of cadets. The corps of cadets is structured along the lines of an active Air Force unit. The overall unit is designated a Squadron. Each class in the squadron is called a Flight. Each flight is further divided into two or more Elements. Each level of organization has specified leadership and staff positions. Each position has a maximum rank authorized. The general rule is: the higher the rank, the more responsibilities and authority the cadet has and the more accountable the cadet is. 3-2. UNIT DESIGNATION.

a. Northside AFJROTC unit designation is NC-20052.b. The unit name is the “Monarch Squadron”. c. Command functions include those positions that direct the operations of

the squadron. These positions include the squadron commander, squadron operations officer, flight commanders (in charge of flight), flight sergeants (second in command for flight), and element leaders (in charge of a group of cadets sitting in their row of seats).

d. Staff functions are established at the squadron and flight level to perform specific support functions, such as logistics, administration, personnel, and physical training.

3-3. SQUADRON GOALS.The goal of the squadron is to be cadet-run. That means cadets gain the required knowledge, experience, self-discipline, motivation, maturity, and work ethic to plan, organize and execute all cadet activities.

Community Impact Have the Squadron complete 2,400 hours of community service during SY19-20. Have all cadets participate in at least 2 activities.  Each flight complete 400 hours of community service

Recruiting Goal Have recruiting team give presentations at the Onslow County CTE Show Case for Middle Schools to raise awareness about the AFJROTC unit at Northside High School.

Physical Training Goal Have 60% of cadets pass the Presidential Fitness Challenge with an overall 50% average or higher and improve their overall PFC average by 15%.

Academic GoalHave 85% of cadets maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher

14

NC-20052

Inspection GoalComplete AFJROTC unit self-inspection in Fall 2019 with a rating of at least “Meets Standards.”

 3-4. CADET POSITIONS AND ROTATION.a. The SASI and ASI select the commander and staff officers. The Cadet Squadron Commander is responsible for conducting interviews with the cadet officers and may make recommendations for staff positions. Cadet officers must maintain at least an 85 academic average each grading period in AFJROTC, be passing all classes, and have exemplary behavior or they will be removed from officer status.b. Cadet command and staff positions are normally changed at the beginning of each semester. Flight commander, flight sergeant, and element leader positions may be changed more often to give cadets an opportunity to experience leadership responsibilities. c. The designated commander and/or lead planner must participate in every after-school activity they organize or send their NCO to said activity(ies).

Criteria for selection: performance, service, and potential for responsibility.

d. Only the SASI or ASI can remove a cadet from a position for cause. That means a cadet who isn’t performing his/her duties, doesn’t turn in assignments on time, fails to attend staff meetings, or has attitude/discipline problems will be removed from his/her position and be reduced in rank or will not be promoted during that promotion cycle. The Squadron Commander may recommend staff changes to SASI or ASI.

 ***The cadet rank listed for each position is the rank range required for that position. However, for AS1 and AS2 classes, the cadets will remain in the rank that they have earned through normal promotion cycles.

3-5. CADET RANK AND PROMOTIONSGeneral. Promotions are an integral part of the AFJROTC Program and are designed to recognize individuals when their performance meets the standards outlined below. Promotions are a privilege, not a right. Promotions are recognition for superior performance and potential to take on additional responsibility.

 Spot Promotions:

The SASI or ASI can promote individuals to a higher rank based on exceptional service to the AFJROTC Program. These promotions will be the exception and are used to recognize and reward cadets who have not reached the maximum rank for their position and who have performed above and beyond the call of duty in support of AFJROTC.

Leadership School Promotions:

After attending one of the approved leadership schools, i.e., Fayetteville State Cadet Leadership Course, National Honor Society, Governor’s School, or any other leadership school, a cadet is eligible for promotion. These schools MUST be approved prior to promotion.

AS1 cadets will be promoted to SSgt in their AS2 year.Upcoming AS3 cadets, after attending leadership school, will be promoted to the

rank of Second Lieutenant if they have attended leadership school once.Additional attendance at a leadership school (i.e., return as cadre staff) will result

in a promotion of one grade.

Demotions:Determined by the SASI or the ASI.

 3-6. CHAIN OF COMMAND: The Air Force has a hierarchical structure. That means the people in positions of leadership and at higher staff levels have higher rank and more responsibility than individuals at lower levels of the organization. Age and school class is not a determining factor in a military structure, cadet rank takes precedence. Therefore, cadets are expected to display proper customs and courtesies to higher-ranking cadet officers and enlisted personnel. Some cardinal rules about operating in a military environment are: 

a. Always follow the orders of a higher-ranking cadet unless the order violates the law or customary ethical and moral standards.b. Lower ranking cadets should always acknowledge higher ranking cadets and instructors as ma’am or sir.

22

NC-20052

c. Higher-ranking cadets will never abuse their authority. When giving an order, the order must not violate legal, ethical, or moral standards. Orders must be related to AFJROTC and must be official, not personal in nature. In other words, cadets must use their authority for the betterment of AFJROTC, not for personal gain or to boost their ego. Abuse of authority is a serious offense and will result in loss of rank and position. d. AFJROTC will not tolerate any type of fraternization.

1.) Cadet Officers and Enlisted cadets are not allowed to date. 2.) Cadets found in violation of this policy may lose rank and the cadet officer will be replaced in his/her job.

CHAPTER FOURStandards of Behavior

 4-1. GENERAL. The AFJROTC program expects cadets to display self-discipline, good manners and proper military customs and courtesies at all times. Courtesy is a quality of human association that enables people to live in harmony and function efficiently. Military courtesy includes an outward display of mutual respect for each other. In the AFJROTC environment, we teach specific acts of courtesy and politeness that every cadet must understand and support. Cadets in Leadership Education will learn military customs and courtesies. Therefore, this handbook will review common practices cadets are expected to comply with on a daily basis. Actions that violate these rules will impact the cadet’s merits, rank, participation in extracurricular activities, and competition for awards. Significant or consistent acts of disrespect will eliminate a cadet from future AFJROTC courses. In addition, we expect our cadets to exhibit proper conduct not only in AFJROTC, but throughout the school. Cadets who are chronically in trouble in other classes, are regularly sent to chill-out or who have multiple suspensions will jeopardize their opportunity to continue in AFJROTC courses. 4-2. ATTITUDE. Your attitude is a state of mind that affects your thoughts and actions. A positive attitude is the single most important ingredient for becoming a successful cadet. Come with an open mind, a willingness to learn, a desire to improve yourself, the courage to take risks and make mistakes, and you will excel in our program.

4-3. MILITARY COURTESY AND PROPER ETIQUETTE.1. Use of Titles: Civilians are addressed as Mr., Mrs., Miss, or Ms. Military personnel are addressed by their rank. Address the SASI as Colonel, Sir, or Lt Col Dollesin. Address the ASI as Sir, or MSgt Garcia, First Sergeant or Sgt Garcia. Cadets should address each other as Cadet (rank) (last name). Address the SASI, ASI, and all higher-ranking cadet officers as “Sir” or “Ma’am.” 2. Saluting: When in uniform, it is customary for cadets to salute the SASI or cadet officer of higher rank when outdoors. An exception to saluting outdoors is when you are under an overhead cover such as the area where students are dropped off by the buses in the morning. You must also salute when reporting in to the SASI, ASI, or senior cadet officer.3. Conversation etiquette: Cadets should exhibit good etiquette by using the words “Please” and “Thank you” in discussions. Also, do not interrupt others when they are talking. Speak to others as you would like them to speak to you!4. Office Courtesy. When entering the SASI or ASI office, always report in. Never enter when the SASI/ASI has someone else in the office.

a. Office report in/out procedures: Before entering: knock once, wait to be asked in, then enter, come to attention in front of the SASI/ASI, salute and report in by saying, “Sir, Cadet (last name) Reports” and wait for the SASI/ASI to return the salute then ask or say what you need to. When your business is complete, come to attention, salute and say “thank you” when salute is returned.

 4-4. CODE OF CONDUCT.I understand that participation in AFJROTC is a privilege, not a right, and I will behave in a manner consistent with being a good citizen and reflecting positively on Northside HS and

I will dress out unless specifically excused in writing by my parent/guardian. If I fail to dress out, I will not be allowed to participate in PT, but will work accomplishing community service/custodial duties during the class period. If I fail to dress out or participate 3 times, I will be placed on probation and may not be allowed to return to AFJROTC.

6. If I am placed on probation, I will be notified in writing by the SASI and will be able to provide a written explanation of what happened. Probation will last for 4 school weeks. Additional probation earned while already on probation will not be served until after the previous one is finished.

7. If I am placed on probation, I will lose my field trip privilege during that time, be ineligible for promotion during the next promotion cycle, and could be reduced in rank and/or lose my AFJROTC job. Prior to the end of each semester, all cadets who have been on probation during the year will be reviewed for continuation in the AFJROTC Program and may have to meet for a hearing with the SASI or ASI.

a. I am entitled to have my parents/guardians present at my hearing. I will be allowed to explain my side of the story. I understand that after the hearing, the SASI, ASI, and administration will discuss and make a decision about my placement within AFJROTC.

CHAPTER FIVEExtracurricular Activities

 5-1. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: These activities are the “bread and butter” of the AFJROTC Program. They are activities that occur outside of normal classroom periods and offer cadets the opportunity to use the knowledge and skills they have learned in class. Cadets who participate in these activities improve their management, team-building and leadership skills; gain self-confidence and self-esteem; and earn ribbons. They are also more competitive for awards, promotions, and leadership positions. Cadets can participate in these activities for both semesters even though they are only enrolled in AFJROTC for one semester. All extracurricular activities are planned, organized, and coordinated by cadets. This is where cadets put their knowledge, experience, human relation skills, and leadership abilities to the test. Instructors monitor, mentor, console and advise.

a. Color Guard. The Color Guard presents the colors at school sporting events, in parades, and at community functions. The selected team members practice after school or during Power Hour, normally two days a week. A cadet commands the team. All members of the Color Guard can earn the Color Guard Ribbon and the Activities Ribbon for meeting attendance and competition requirements.

b. Service Projects. AFJROTC highly encourages service to school and community. Therefore, cadets can volunteer for various service projects. Ongoing projects include

Adopt-a-Highway, volunteering at local nursing homes, directing car parking for football games, marching in local parades, etc. Each flight will be required to plan and participate in at least 2 service projects prior to participating in a field trip. The cadet staff can schedule other projects with the approval of the SASI. Every cadet is required to participate in on Saturday community service activity during the semester. Cadets earn a Service Ribbon for participating in the appropriate number of projects.

c. Fundraising. The cadet corps needs to raise money to support its activities. Funds go to defray the costs of such activities as the Military Ball and/or Cadet Dining-In, the Annual Awards Banquet, or Flight team-building activities. Participation counts toward Service and Activities Ribbons.

d. Co-Curricular Activities. Co-curricular activities are military functions that directly support what is taught in the curriculum, eg. communication, teambuilding, teamwork, leadership, etc. These activities may include a Military Ball, Dining-In/Out, Awards Banquet, etc. Cadets are responsible for planning, organizing, coordinating, funding, and leading these events. Cadets who are responsible for an event and do an excellent job can earn the Co-Curricular Activities Leadership Ribbon. Co-Curricular Activities include activities such as:

Kitty-Hawk Air Society (KHAS). The KHAS is the academic honor society of AFJROTC that promotes high academic standards, school and community service, self-confidence, and initiative. The KHAS develops leadership abilities, recognizes academic excellence, and furthers members’ knowledge of the Air Force role in aerospace.

b. Tattoos or Brands: Whether you are in or out of uniform, tattoos or brands anywhere on the body are not allowed if they are obscene or if they advocate sexual, racial, ethnic, or religious discrimination. Tattoos or brands that might harm good order and discipline or bring discredit upon the Air Force are also barred, whether you are in or out of uniform. Excessive tattoos or brands, even though they do not violate the prohibitions in the above paragraph, will not be exposed or visible (including visible through the uniform) while in uniform. Excessive is defined as any tattoo or brands that exceed one-quarter of the exposed body part, and those above the collar bone and readily visible when wearing an open collar uniform. The SASI may exercise discretion if a new cadet arrives with a tattoo that may not be in full compliance with the above guidance. The tattoo may be covered up with a skin-colored bandage while in uniform and still participate in the program. However, tattoos and brands should be discouraged. The cadet should be counseled on the fact that tattoos and brands may preclude him or her from serving in the military.

c. Body Piercings: Cadets in uniform are not allowed to attach or display objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the ear, nose, tongue, or any exposed body part (including anything that might be visible through the uniform). Female cadets in uniform, however, can wear conservative earrings (studs), pierced or clip style, in their earlobes.

MALES:

a. Jewelry: While in uniform, you may wear a wristwatch and rings, but no more than three rings at any one time. You may wear one bracelet if it is neat and conservative. However, the bracelet must not detract from military image, must not be wider than one-half inch, and must not subject anyone to potential injury. You may not wear ornaments on your head or around your neck. Thumb rings are not allowed in uniform. Colored bracelets that support a cause are not allowed.

b. Fingernails: Male cadets are not authorized to wear nail polish.

42

NC-20052

c. Hair: Keep your hair clean, neat, and trimmed. It must not contain large amounts of grooming aids such as greasy creams, oils, and sprays that remain visible in the hair. When your hair is groomed, it should not touch your ears or eyebrows, and only the closely cut or shaved hair on the back of your neck should touch the collar. Your hair should not exceed 1 1⁄4 inch in bulk regardless of the length. Bulk is the distance that the hair projects from the scalp when groomed (as opposed to length of the hair). The bulk and length of your hair must not interfere with wearing any Air Force headgear properly, and it must not protrude below the front band of the headgear. Your hair must have a tapered appearance on both sides and back, both with and without headgear. A tapered appearance means that, when viewed from any angle, the outline of the hair on the side and back will generally match the shape of the skull, curving inward to the end point. Your hair may not contain or have attached to it any visible foreign items. If you dye your hair, it should look natural. You may not dye your hair an unusual color or one that contrasts with your natural coloring. You may have sideburns if they are neatly trimmed and tapered in the same manner as your haircut. Sideburns must be straight and of even width (not flared) and end in a clean-shaven horizontal line. They may not extend below the lowest part of the outer ear opening. No extreme of faddish hair styles is allowed, eg braids, etc. Hair may not protrude below the front band of properly worn headgear.

Figure 1 Male Hair Grooming Standards

FEMALES: a. Hair: Your hair will be no longer than the bottom of the collar edge at the back of the neck. Your hairstyle must be conservative—no extreme or faddish styles are allowed. Hair Weaves are authorized if they adhere to the following criteria: It should look professional and allow you to wear uniform headgear in the proper manner; your hair must not be too full or too high on the head. Hair must be able to be placed in a 3 1/2 ” bun (maximum of 3 ½ inches). In addition, your hairstyle shouldn’t need many grooming aids.

grooming aids or touch eyebrows. Hair color/highlights/frosting (must not be faddish). Examples of natural looking for human beings: Blonde/Brunette/Natural Red/Black/Grey. No shaved heads or flat-top hairstyles are authorized for women. Braids, Micro-braids and cornrows are authorized. However, they must be a natural looking color similar to the individual’s hair color; conservative (moderate, being within reasonable limits; not excessive or extreme) and not present a faddish appearance. A braid is three or more portions/strands of interwoven hair. When worn, multiple braids shall be of uniform dimension, small in diameter (approx. ¼ inches), show no more than ¼ inch of scalp between the braids and must be tightly interwoven to present a neat, professional and well-groomed appearance. Braids must continue to the end of the hair in one direction, in a straight line, and may be worn loose or secured style within hair standards. Dreadlocks, (defined as portions of hair that have been intentionally or unintentionally fused together to form a loc or locks), shaved head, flat-tops and military high and tight cuts are not authorized hairstyles for female cadets.

b. Fingernails: If worn by female cadets, nail polish will be a single color that does not distinctly contrast with the female cadet’s complexion, detract from the uniform, or be extreme colors. Some examples of extreme colors included, but are not limited to, purple, gold, blue, black, bright (fire engine) red and florescent colors. Do not apply designs to nails or apply two-tone or multi-tone colors. However, white-tip French manicures are authorized. Fingernails must not exceed ¼ inch in length beyond the tip of the finger and must be clean and well groomed.

c. Skirt: The length of your skirt may not vary beyond the top and bottom of the kneecap. Your skirt should fit smoothly, should hang naturally, and must not be excessively tight. You must wear hosiery with the skirt. Choose a sheer nylon in a neutral dark brown, black, off-black, or dark blue shade that complements the uniform and your skin tone.

d. Jewelry: Female cadets in uniform may wear earrings if the earrings are conservative and kept within sensible limits. For example, you may wear one small spherical (diamond, gold, white pearl, or silver) pierced or clip earring on each earlobe. The earring worn in each earlobe must match. Earrings should fit tightly without extending below the earlobes, unless they are clip earrings. Male cadets in uniform may not wear earrings.

CHAPTER 8SPORTS AND FITNESS

8-1 Presidential Fitness Challenge (PFC)

1. The PFC is designed to evaluate an individual’s physical fitness against a standard set of criteria and is used in our promotion system.

2. Cadets are evaluated on three events: Curl-ups, right angle push-ups, and the one-mile walk/run.

3. PFC Rules:a. Order of events is curl-ups, push-ups, and the mile run. There is a 5-minute rest

period between events. b. Exercises must be performed properly to countc. Curl-ups (One-minute time limit):

i. Performed with the knees raised and hands folded across the chest. If a cadet “throws” their hands forward to assist in pulling up, the curl-up doesn’t count

ii. A curl-up requires the cadet to raise their back at least 45 degrees and the elbows touch any part of their thighs. Cadets must begin each curl-up with their backs touching the ground

iii. Cadets may rest in the up position no longer than 5 seconds

d. Push-ups (No time limit):

i. All cadets will do push-ups the same way!ii. Cadets begin in the down position, move up until the upper arms are fully extended,

then move down until the upper arms are parallel to the ground, (90-degree elbow bends) then back up until arms are fully extended

iii. The back must be in a straight line, hands no more than shoulder-width apart. Feet may be together, but no more than shoulder-width apart

iv. Each push-up will be done in a three-second interval

8-2 Dodge Ball1) Dodge ball is played on a 100 ft by 50 ft court divided into two smaller 50x50 ft squares.

All but three members of a flight occupy one of the 50 ft squares and send three of its

57

NC-20052

members to the sides of the other 50 ft square to be throwers. The ball used is a standard kickball. A coin toss is used to determine which team gets the ball first. There is a region extending 10-12 ft from either side of the center line designated as a "no-throw zone" which only applies to throwers on the outside of the squares. Throwers can go into the no-throw zone to recover the ball, but then must move back to the 38-40 remaining ft on that side before throwing. Three members of each flight are selected to stand on the outside of each of the three sides to start the game. The throwers may move anywhere outside the court to retrieve the ball, but they may not cross over the centerline.

2) Flight members inside the square must do one of the following when the ball is thrown at them:

(a) Get out of the way and dodge the ball(b) Catch the ball and throw it at an opponent in the adjoining square(c) Catch the ball and throw it to your own throwers who are outside the adjoining

square or another flight member in the square with him/her, so they can throw the ball at the opposing flight

(d) Get hit by the ball and move to the outside of the adjoining square as a thrower(e) Try to catch the ball and miss it (the ball must remain in your hands)--counts

just like being hit by the ball--become an outside thrower(f) Pick up a ball that is rolling/loose on the ground inside his/her square and

proceed under rules 2 (b) or 2 (c) from above.3) Flight members determined to be hit (eliminated) will become throwers around the

outside of the adjoining square, ultimately building a wall around the opposing team. All rules that apply to the original throwers apply to new throwers as they are hit (i.e. can't throw from the "no-throw zone", can't cross the centerline, etc.)

4) If a player tries to catch a ball, and the ball hits the ground, he/she is out. If a ball hits a member and bounces off and is caught by another member, the hit person is out, but the person catching the ball is safe, and proceeds under rules 2 (b) or 2 (c) from above.

5) If a ball is thrown into a square and before it touches anyone it bounces or starts rolling, it can be caught after bouncing any number of times. Once a member tries to catch the ball (touches it), the ball can't touch the ground again, or if it does, the member who touched it is out. If a person catches the ball and, when trying to pass it to someone in his own square, lets it hit the ground before being caught by his/her teammate, he/she will be out. If a person catches the ball and throws it at an opponent or throws it to a teammate on the outside of the square, it is OK for the ball to hit the ground.

Once a ball hits someone and hits the ground, it can be picked up by anyone in that square except the person who was just hit (under rule 2 (f) above). If a person is hit and the ball touches the ground, the hit person must not touch the ball again (not throw it/or direct it to a teammate, etc.).

6) A person can only be hit by the ball below the shoulders--NO HEAD SHOTS!!! A hit above the shoulders will not count unless the referee determines the person was bending down. Continued high throwing by a team (after one warning) will result in allowing one opponent for each incident (who has already been hit) to return to the inside of his/her team’s area to be hit again. The same person can reenter the game under this rule only once.

7) If a person is hit by a thrower who was inside the "no-throw zone", the hit will not count.

58

NC-20052

8) No one may cross the centerline at any time--doing so will result in being called out.9) Members inside the square may pass to their throwers outside the adjoining square or

team members remaining in their own square, and throwers outside the adjoining square may throw the ball to their teammates still inside the square. If the teammate inside the square drops a pass from his own thrower/teammate, he/she is still out.

10) The "no-throw zone" only applies when outside the square. If you are still inside the square and you catch the ball, you can move right up to the centerline and throw at an opponent in the adjoining square. Remember--if you are inside the square there is no such thing as a "no-throw zone".

11) When a predetermined number of people have been eliminated, a second ball will be thrown in to increase the game's difficulty (it will be given to the throwers with the most opponents left).

12) When all of one flight has been hit, the other team wins. If the game lasts longer than the scheduled time, the team with the most players remaining on the court wins. More than one game can be played in the allotted time, so the overall winning flight will be the one who wins the most games or has the most people left on the court at the end of the time. If there is a perfect tie at the end of the scheduled time, the two teams will split the points available. (See court diagram.)

59

NC-20052

8-3 Kickball. The basic rules of baseball & softball apply. Each team will consist of all team members up to 10 players (short fielder is the extra position). In-field fly rule is in effect

ADDITIONAL RULES:

1. Each kicker will be allowed only 1 foul ball; the second foul ball will be an OUT. Three bad pitches (judged by the referees) will result in the kicker being awarded a base hit and going to 1st base. If a kicker kicks the ball in front of home plate, he/she is automatically out. Before a kicker kicks the ball, he/she must state the score and number of outs (Alfa 2, Bravo 1—two outs).

2. After a kicker kicks the ball, a fielder may either catch the ball in the air for an out, catch the ball after it has touched the ground and throw it to the base before the kicker can get to the base, or throw the ball at the kicker and hit the kicker only BELOW the neck for an out. If the kicker (runner) jumps or ducks and the ball hits them, the kicker is out. If a ball is thrown at a runner and it misses, the runner can only run to the base past the one he/she is running to. (Example—if a runner is going to first and the ball is thrown and misses him/her, he/she can only keep running to second. If the runner was past first when the ball was thrown and missed, the runner can continue to third. This is not a free movement—the runner can be tagged/thrown out during this advanced base movement.)

3. Do not make a pitch at the beginning of an inning until cleared by the referee.

4. An inning is three outs per team. Each team will be given the same number of "at bats" in the allotted time to determine the winner. If the team that batted first is at bat and scoring runs when time runs out, the score will revert to the prior completed inning. If at the end of play (time), there is a tie, the teams will split the points available for that event.

NC-20052

8-4 Capture the Flag Dodgeball.

TEAMS: 2 teams of 10 people each (may set minimums for gender) on the playing field each round. Additional players will rotate in after each score.

OBJECTIVE: Teams score by capturing the flag of the opposing team and bringing it back to their goal area. Teams only score if their flag and that of the opposing team is in their goal area at the same time.

FIELD: Size of an Ultimate field or larger, up to a standard soccer field. Playing field consists of a goal area on opposite corners of the field with a penalty area in the center of the field. (See Figure below)

EQUIPMENT: 20 light-weight, 10-inch, plastic, solid color balls (10 of one color and 10 of another; Wal-Mart is a good source).

RULES:

Play starts with each team on opposite ends of the playing field. Each team member is issued one ball in their team’s color. Players line up adjacent to their respective goal areas. One player is designated as the goalie for the round and occupies the goal area.

Game will begin with players called to attention and say; “Alpha 0, Bravo 0. Ready to go, sir or ma’am.” The opposing team says; “Ready to go sir or ma’am.” You are addressing the scorekeeping referee, use the proper gender in your address.

When the referee blows the whistle, players may begin moving around the field.

Goalie’s position is to protect the flag. Only one person is the goalie between scores. Once a game begins no swapping of goalies until the next round starts. A new round starts after a team scores. No one (either team) is allowed in the goal area when it is occupied by the goalie; violators are sent to the penalty box. If the goalie gets hit by the other team’s ball, then the goalie is sent to the penalty box leaving the goal area unattended. The goalie may also leave the area to retrieve a ball (for a short time the goal area is unattended) but they can return to the goal area to protect their flag. In both situations the goal area is unattended and the opposing team may enter the goal to retrieve the flag.

Once a flag has been captured by the opposing team, it must be brought back to that team’s goal area. If their own flag is missing they must retrieve it to score a point.

The ball is used to send the opposing team member or members to the penalty box. The ball is an extension of a player. If an opponent’s ball hits a ball that is in a player’s hand, that player is sent to the penalty box. If a player is hit by the ball of any opposing team member they are sent to the penalty box. When they are sent to the penalty box they drop their ball (if they are holding one) to the ground and leave it. Do not carry the ball any further.

Any member of a team can pick up their team’s color ball and as many as they can carry and use them as needed. However, they cannot pick up the opposing team’s ball or they will be sent to the

61

NC-20052

penalty box.

No contact is permitted between opposing players during the game. Violators will be sent to the penalty box.

Penalty box: No push-ups or sit-ups required. Once in the penalty box, players stand at parade rest in element formation facing their side of the field and await someone to retrieve them. Players may be retrieved by any member of their team who must toss them a ball from outside the penalty box and the member in the box must toss the ball back to the teammate outside the penalty box. If either teammate fails to catch the ball (drops it) they must repeat the process from the beginning. Once they complete this toss-catch-toss-catch process they can leave the penalty box and start playing again. One person can retrieve as many people as possible (watch out…the other team can send that person to the penalty box).

If either a ball or a player goes out of bounds (off the playing field) the ball/player are out of play for the remainder of the round and neither is allowed back on the field until one team scores.

There are no penalties for jumping or contact with the ground. Only being hit by the other team’s ball, contact between opposing players or unsportsmanlike conduct (referee’s view point) is a penalty box violation.

Goal areas are 15-foot square; 5 feet from each boundary line, allowing an area to run around to try to take out the goalie. (see diagram)

The Penalty Box is in the center of the field and measures 20 ft. square (see diagram).

No one is allowed to run through the penalty box; they must run around the penalty box. If a cadet enters the penalty box, they must remain there until they are properly retrieved.

If while bringing a captured flag to their goal a person is hit by a ball they must drop the flag, as well as any ball they may be carrying, and go to the penalty box. A teammate may pick up the flag and continue bringing the flag to their goal. Similarly, the opposing team may pick up their flag and return it back to their home goal area by tossing it in, but only the defending goalie may actually go in the goal area.

 

62

NC-20052

8-5 Ultimate Ball. Ultimate is a non-contact sport with each team consisting of nine players. The objective is to move the ball down the field by passing it among team members (not letting it touch the ground) and scoring goals by catching the ball in the end zone. Each time the ball is caught in the correct end zone by a team, one point is earned. The field and end zones will be marked by cones.

RULES:

1. Games will consist of two 15-minute halves (with a break in between)--the clock starts when the first "jump off" occurs and stops at halftime. Injury time-outs will only be called by the referee; however, the clock will not stop. No other time outs are allowed.

2. Substitutions can only be made during halftime or immediately after a team scores a goal (prior to the next "throw off").

3. Jerseys, caps, or different color "T" shirts will be worn by one team to help differentiate a team member from an opponent.

To start the game, the referee will have the two team captains face each other at the half-field point. The referee will throw the ball into the air and play will begin (the second half will start the same way as the first). After an injury time-out, play resumes at the spot where the ball was last at.

To begin after a score, each team stands at attention with at least one foot on the receiving line. The "throw off" team's server will call his/her team to attention and state the score, “Flight score (Alfa 2), other flight’s score (Bravo 1), ready to serve, Sir/Ma’am”. The receiving team captain will reply, "Ready to receive Sir/Ma'am". Then the referee will signal for the "throw off" by blowing the whistle. Both teams must remain in place until the whistle is blown and the server releases the ball. Once the ball is released, all players may move in any direction; however, no player on the serving team may touch the ball until it is touched by the receiving team.

4. If on the "throw off", the receiving team catches the ball, play begins from that spot. If the receiving team touches the ball and the ball then hits the ground, the throwing team takes possession where it was touched. If the receiving team lets the ball fall untouched to the ground and then picks it up after a couple of bounces, play begins from that spot immediately with no whistle. If the ball goes out-of-bounds before being touched, play begins at the point it went out of bounds or the 50-yard line (whichever is better for the receiving team). If it was touched and then goes out-of-bounds, the throwing team will start play where it went out. Except when untouched on the initial “throw off”, the last team to touch a ball that goes out of bounds loses possession of the ball. If a team gains possession of the ball in the end zone, play will begin from the throw-off line closest to that goal line.

The ball must be thrown; any other method of transfer will result in a possession change. The receiver must establish a pivot foot and may rotate 360 degrees but cannot lift the pivot foot. A thrower may not catch his/her own throw unless another player touches it first, or he/she is the only person left on that team (he/she must still throw the ball at least 5 feet). Opponents must stay at least three (3) feet from the thrower and cannot make contact with the thrower or ball. If the team with the ball makes a pass and the ball is blocked (touched) by a defender before being touched by a receiver, it is a live ball and play will continue (no whistle). On all turnovers/dead balls, the referee will blow the whistle to resume play.

63

NC-20052

If running to catch a pass, the new thrower is allowed to take three (3) steps before stopping and establishing a pivot foot. If standing still and catching a pass, the new thrower cannot take any steps. If running and the new thrower takes more than three steps, takes any steps if standing still with the ball, or moves his/her pivot foot, possession changes. If the ball is caught simultaneously by an offensive and defensive player, the offensive team retains possession. The thrower may tag (softly, so as not to hurt the opponent) a defensive player who violates the three-foot rule, if he/she can do so without moving his/her pivot foot. No tagging may take place while taking the three steps. To be considered a good pass, the ball must travel a minimum of five (5) feet between team members and not touch the ground. If a pass is made, and, before it can be caught, a defender knocks it to the ground, it will be considered a live ball—no whistle will be blown and play will continue. Either team can pick the ball up off the ground and pass it to a fellow teammate.

5. FOULS: Fouls occur when:

(a) opposing team or same team players make contact;

(b) safety is jeopardized by reckless behavior (diving, hitting the ground, etc.,);

(c) the three-foot rule is violated and the defensive player is tagged with the ball;

(d) a player other than the team captain talks to the referee;

(e) a player hits an opponent with the ball too hard when trying to tag the opponent; and

(f) a player jumps--NO JUMPING ALLOWED BY ANYONE!!!

(g) a defensive player touches the ball on a “throw-off” before an offensive player touches it.

6. When a foul occurs, possession of the ball changes at the point of the infraction. The guilty player is sent to the penalty box and must do 10 push-ups or 15 sit-ups (his/her choice).

7. PENALTY BOX: When a foul occurs, the guilty player/players are sent to the penalty box to do their physical exercise and await the next score or end of a half before they can be released. A player must request permission to enter the penalty box, request permission to begin push-ups/sit-ups, and request permission to recover when finished with push-ups/sit-ups. Once a score occurs or half ends, the team captain must request by name his/her players be released from the penalty box by stating, “Alfa Flight requests permission to retrieve Cadets Smith, Jones, etc. from the penalty box, Sir or Ma’am”.

8. TURNOVERS: Turnovers occur when:a) a thrower takes more than three (3) steps if running or any steps if standing still;b) a player holds the ball for more than 5 seconds (all throws must occur within 5 seconds); or

i. a pass falls incomplete and has not been touched by a defender or is thrown out-of-bounds; the opposing team assumes possession of the ball from the spot where the pass was attempted.

ii. a pass is intercepted by the defense--if an interception occurs, play begins immediately from that spot without a whistle (keep on playing).

c) a thrower passes/throws the ball less than five feet.9. SCORING: A point is scored when a player catches the ball in his/her opponent's end zone. The

ball must be caught in the end zone. A player cannot score by stepping into the end zone with the ball. If a player's momentum carries him/her into the end zone, play will continue and another throw must be made to score a point.

10. All decisions by the referees will be final.
