Alaska School Activities Association

Directing, developing and supporting Alaska’s High School Interscholastic Sports, Academic and Fine Arts Activities

Due to the rapidly changing responses to COVID-19, ASAA will be updating our website as information become available. More information can be found on our COVID-19 Resources page. It is the intent of ASAA to host championship events in all activities. However, dates, locations and formats may change due to the impact of COVID-19.

CANCELLATION AND POSTPONEMENT OF 2020 ASAA ACTIVITIES

During their October 13, 2020 meeting the ASAA Board of Directors took the following actions. This communication is intended to clarify to the member school districts the impacts of those actions.

“Motion to cancel all state championship events scheduled to take place prior to January 1, 2021. Regions may continue to host regional championships.”

Impacts:
Football and Football Sideline Cheer:
As a result of this action taken by ASAA, the state football playoffs are cancelled. However, schools may continue to play football games within their ASAA Region. DIII and DII teams may play through October 24, while DI schools may play through October 30, 2020.

Flag Football, Gymnastics, Swim & Dive, 2A/3A/4A Volleyball, Rifle and Bowling:
Schools may only play within their geographic or ASAA Regions and must complete any competitions by November 21, 2020.

Esports, Rifle and DDF:
If the competition can be done in a virtual format, schools may participate with schools outside their geographic or ASAA Region, but may no longer participate after November 21, 2020.

Explanation on Geographic and ASAA Regions Limitations: As many Region 2 schools overlap geographically with Region 3, 4 and 6 schools, they may continue to compete with all competitions being completed by November 21, 2020.

“Motion to postpone all state activities not already started to a season to be determined.”

Impact:
All remaining ASAA Activities will be rescheduled. This includes the following activities: Hockey, Hockey Sideline Cheer, Nordic Ski, Wrestling, Basketball, Basketball Sideline Cheer, Esport (Spring Season), Track & Field, Soccer, Coed Soccer, Baseball, Softball, Mix-6 Volleyball, DDF, World Language, Student Govt (Spring Conference), All State Art and Solo & Ensemble.

Plan of Action:
ASAA has formed a Calendar Revision Committee made up of one member from each Region. The Committee will meet and present a plan to the ASAA Board of Directors at their upcoming November 9, 2020 meeting. The Board will then review the recommendations. The Board may choose to make further changes to the recommendations, but will attempt to take action in a timely fashion.
