Legacy Christian Academy offers students in grades 6-12 the opportunity to compete in the fastest-growing MSHSL sponsored activity, Clay Target. Clay Target is great for physical activity, group cooperation, and the student socialization it provides. Students at LCA can earn lettering points by participating in Clay Target and given the flexible schedule can participate alongside another LCA sport.
Minnesota DNR Firearms Safety Certification
You must be 11 years old to take the class and must turn 12 prior to the season. See Registration Information for current year deadlines. Legacy has a coach on staff that can complete this certification or you can take a course locally.
Trap Team (Spring)
Legacy’s Trap Team meets two nights a week on Monday and Thursday for nine weeks during the spring season (April- June). One of the nights is a practice night and one is for a competition score. Currently, the LCA team shoots at Beaverbrook Sportsmen’s Club in East Bethel. The season culminates with an MSHSL-sponsored state tournament in June. As a club sport, there is no school fee to participate and given the flexible schedule, students can participate alongside another spring sport.

2018 Mid-Season Update
The Trap season is now half over and our shooters have been consistently improving despite the wind. A couple of weeks ago we honored one of our coaches who passed away last fall. Coach “Krispy” Krzyska was a strong encourager, and a great proponent of the shooting sports. Each team member wears a patch on their jersey to remember him.
In early June, we look forward to competing in the State Shoot located in Alexandria, MN. Teams compete over the course of the week to find out who the top shooters in Minnesota. If you are interested in learning more about the Trap team or the shooting sports, you are welcome to join us at our annual picnic on Thursday, June 7 at 5pm. We will be grilling, shooting, and celebrating our achievements this season at our home Range: Beaver Brook Gun Club in Ham Lake.
