Alberta Schools' Athletic Association

Football Alberta is once again offering scholarships for Graduating Grade 12’s who will be playing post-secondary for an Alberta based elite team (i.e. Colts, Dinos, Golden Bears, Huskies, Wildcats, WWCFL Teams) this fall. There are five that will be available worth $2000/each. They are available to all Grade 12 players in the province regardless of whether they were able to go on-field last fall or not. Please read the attachments for specific eligibility and feel free to pass it along to any candidate from your program you feel is worthy of consideration.

The ASAA, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Ottawa, have developed a life skills self-assessment tool for coaches, based on research conducted with ASAA coaches . This tool is designed to guide you through the life skills teaching process, allowing you to appraise the extent to which you believe you are intentionally teaching life skills through sport.

Dear ASAA Member Schools:

On November 20th, the ASAA Executive Committee, with the support of a majority of the ASAA Zones, approved a modified schedule for 2020/21 ASAA provincial championship dates. Built into that schedule were assessment dates by which the Zones empower the ASAA Executive Committee to determine, based on current circumstances, whether or not running a provincial championship in each sport is viable.

Dear ASAA Member Schools:

The ASAA office has received several inquiries from members who are seeking additional clarification on how the pandemic will impact student athletic eligibility. The purpose of this memo is to clarify ASAA transfer policy intent. The following excerpt is found in Section IV - Eligibility, 11. Transfer Policy, B., i., page 49 (2021-21 policy handbook):

Accepted reasons for approving eligibility for transfer students:

Saturday afternoon Michael Vaughan passed away. Michael’s generosity and enthusiasm for life will be sorely missed. Michael has been a leader and inspiration within the ASAA community. He is survived by his wife and 2 daughters. Michael and Shauna were inducted into the ASAA Hall of Fame in February 2021.

Michael’s funeral is this Thursday at 11:00 am. It will be live streamed as well. People can go to:
