Athletics
OzarkAthletics
At Ozark Adventist Academy, our athletics program is designed to mold character, foster teamwork, and encourage persevering effort. Student-athletes learn to rely on one another, give their best every day, and grow through challenges. Our coaches mentor students to value teamwork over individual honor and to understand that true success is found in how we treat each other and the person we become more than in the win and losses column. Ozark Adventist Academy's athletic program offers boys' varsity basketball, girls' varsity basketball, boys’ varsity soccer, girls’ varsity volleyball, and a coed gymnastics team. If you have any questions about our athletic department, please contact our Athletic Director, Ryan Gil.
- We offer varsity soccer, varsity basketball, volleyball, and gymnastics.
- We have an optional intramural program open to all students.
- There are additional opportunities for student participation from media to stats.
"The measure of a successful athletic program is found in the growth of the character of our athletes."
Upcoming Games
Ozark Adventist Academy joined the Heartland Athletic Association in 2023. The Association doesn't set Ozark's game schedule but it gives Ozark the opportunity to schedule their own games with participating schools. It also gives OAA the opportunity to participate in association tournaments.
