PAA Panther Athletics

Parkview Adventist Academy (PAA) has always emphasised the need for physical activity as an essential component of sound, over-all health. Historically, this has been achieved through a strong intramural athletic program that allowed students to choose from a number of sports including volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, ice hockey, flag football, and softball. The school team name "Panthers" has its origins in the early 1990s with PAA’s ice hockey team. The extramural athletic program began to grow in 1998 with PAA volleyball teams traveling to tournaments in British Columbia, hosted by other Seventh-day Adventist high schools. PAA has since joined the Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA) and participates in league play with public and private schools within Central Alberta. Current ASAA sports are cross country running, volleyball, basketball, and track and field. Additional athletics at PAA include soccer and flag football teams that participate in tournament play, Acronaires (acrobatic tumbling team), Outdoor Club (hiking, camping and canoeing), Snow Riders Club (skiers and snowboarders), and various weightlifting/workout fitness groups.
