The Alaska School Activities Association is announcing the cancelation of the 2020 State Basketball and Cheer Championships. This decision is based on the following:
• On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, the State of Alaska and the Alaska School Activities Association announced the postponement of the State Basketball and Cheer Championships.
• On Friday, March 13, 2020, the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, the Alaska Chief Medical Officer, the Alaska Division of Public Health and the Office of the Governor issued its first health mandate. As part of Mandate 1.2, from March 16 through March 30, all public schools are to be operated as non-student contact days in which students will not be attending school. During this time, all after school activities are to be suspended.
• The purpose of the postponement and mandate is to reduce the possibility for spreading Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

ASAA & AABC Partnership
The Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches (AABC) and the Alaska School Activities Association (ASAA) are working together this year in an effort to make less work for basketball coaches. AABC will not be hosting team schedules and scores on their site, but directing their members to use ASAA365.com. “This will allow AABC to focus on furthering our mission, which is to promote the game of basketball, coaches, and players in the state of Alaska” said David Porter AABC President in a letter posted on their website. ASAA is looking forward to this partnership with AABC in an effort to grow both organizations together and individually. ASAA would like to thank the AABC Board who helped make this possible. Please visit the new and improved Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches website! Be sure to sign up to be a member. You can sign up as a coach, official, or supporter! $30 is a small fee to be part of this great organization! Membership dues go to organizing and running the All Star Game and awards as well as the AABC Coaches of the Year awards.
