We will be fielding a Varsity team and a JV team so there is plenty of room for participants.  The JV competition is a great way for new players to “get your feet wet”.

 

 

 

Do you enjoy watching Jeopardy! or playing games like Trivial Pursuit?  If you do, you should join the Salesianum Academic Challenge Club.  Academic Challenge is a club, which participates in “Quiz Bowl” type competitions.  Most of the competitions allow entry of both Varsity and Junior Varsity teams so many players have the opportunity to play.

 

How to Sign Up

Students may sign up during the Activities Fair in the school Cafeteria on Monday, September 11th during F-6 or simply come to any of our practices.

 

Practices

During the quarter, practices will be held during G-6 in room B246 (Mr. Johnson’s Physics Lab).  Student-run practices could occur after school on other days if Mr. Johnson is available.
