He was a little slower than the others, his shots rarely went in the basket, and even on an intramural court, he didn't display much athletic ability. Then I saw him, one of Ozark's most talented varsity basketball players. He walked up to this young man and with a grin and some quick words of encouragement, brought a smile that didn't quickly fade away. At Ozark Adventist Academy our athletic program is not just about winning and losing. It's about instilling in each student-athlete Christian character. That on any court, and wherever God shall call them, they will be a blessing and encouragement to others. At Ozark Adventist Academy, we believe what makes a good player truly great, is not just how he behaves on the field, but what kind of person he is becoming off the field.
At Ozark Adventist Academy we offer boys' varsity soccer, girls' varsity volleyball, boys' and girls' varsity basketball, gymnastics, and a variety of intramurals from ultimate frisbee to flag football.
To help cover the costs of uniforms and travel expenses, there are additional fees for students involved in gymnastics and varsity team sports. Gymnastics and varsity team fees may be paid online HERE.
