Rifle team

Creekview’s JROTC officers have created our school’s first ever Rifle Team. Although the team is JROTC related, it is not just limited to JROTC students. In fact, any student that follows Creekview’s sports eligibility rules can qualify to be on the team. The team’s practices will be held at least two times a week in the mornings and afternoons to prepare the team members for their competitions. The season starts in January and ends in April.

During the practices and competitions, the team will shoot against other school’s Rifle Teams in competitive air rifles. Their stances include laying on the stomach, kneeling, and standing.

LTC Holly is dedicated to the team and believes “ this is a sport that requires you to be more precise and calm than other sport.”

The conception of the club arose from the use of it at other schools. Before being able to start the team, Creekview had to wait for permission due to safety measures. The rifles were retrieved from the United States Army. The team is now ready to start their season’s first practices.
