Interscholastic sports are beginning! Tickets to Academy Lions regular season home games are $3 for adults and $2 for children with a maximum of $10 per family (immediate family members only).
Complimentary admission to Lions home games is available for the Academy family as detailed below. By showing his/her BJA/BJU ID card, a current BJA/BJU student, faculty, or staff member receives complimentary admission. A current high school student may use his/her ID card for complimentary admission for his/her parents and siblings. A Lions Athletic Family Pass provides complimentary admission for any current student (preschool through high school) with his/her parents and siblings. Pick up your family pass at an academy office. Complimentary admission applies to middle school, junior varsity, and varsity regular season home games only. School ID cards and the family pass may not apply to admission for predetermined league playoff and/or championship games when league policy requires admission. For each student who is selected for a fall interscholastic sports team (middle school, JV, and varsity girls volleyball and boys soccer), at least one parent is required to attend the parent interscholastic sports meeting that will be held on Monday, August 22, at 7 p.m. in the Academy Auditorium. Team rosters will be announced at school by Friday, August 19.
The forensics team is an award-winning speech and debate team that competes on weekends (about fifteen times during the school year) in public and privates schools in a three-state area. Team members compete in debate, public speaking, and interpretation events. In addition to competing locally, the team competes in the state speech tournament and in the National Speech and Debate Association (formerly the National Forensic League) national tournament.
Members have the opportunity to join the National Speech and Debate Association, which is the nation's largest speech and debate organization. The NSDA is an honor society. Students interested in being on this year’s team should attend one of two meetings. Those who competed last year or who attended two or more nights of debate camp this week should meet on Tuesday, August 16 at 3:30 in B-107. Other interested students should attend the informational event that will be held on Tuesday, August 23, from 3:30 until 5 p.m. in the Academy Auditorium. This meeting will include current team members presenting examples of speech events, testimonials, and a PowerPoint illustrating a typical tournament. There will also be a time to ask questions. |
