The Hollins High School Army JROTC "Royal" Battalion Raider Team is made up of highly motivated, physically fit male and female Cadets that train to compete against other schools teams across Florida and potentially the United States. Cadets may sign up for a Raiders/Drill Team class, an elective, and/or train after school up to five days a week from 2:15 to 4:30. Typical training consists of stretching/warm-up and one or more of the following; weightlifting, cardio including sprints and endurance runs (3-10k), cross country rescue, rope bridge, obstacle course, tire flip, and end with stretching/cool-down.

The Raider season is in the fall and there are four to six, single-day Raider competitions each season on Saturdays, starting with a Captains/Coaches meeting and ending with an awards ceremony. Cadets compete in five events chosen from 10 athletic and curriculum skilled events. The potential events are as follows: Raider Fitness Challenge, One-Rope Bridge, Cross Country Rescue, Team Run (3-6KM), Tire Flip, Obstacle Course, HUMVEE Push, Raider Fitness Test, Relay Run and Raider Item Relay. Area schools are invited to attend and each school will be allowed to bring one Team per category to the competition (1 Male, 1 Female, and 1 Mixed). 

Competitions support the following objectives: Ethical Values and Good Citizenship, Leadership Potential, Effective Communication and Logical Thinking, Improved Physical Fitness, Incentive to live drug-free, Positive Self-Motivation and Management, the skills to work as a team member and motivation to graduate from high school and pursue a successful career.
