Cheer Coaches

It is the intent of ASAA to host championship events in all activities. Currently it is our plan to hold state events if at least half of the conferences indicate they will be able to attend. This intent to participate will take place approximately a month prior to the event date. The locations and formats may change based on the number of teams able to attend.

PRACTICE BYLAW

The following policy is in place for the rest of the 2020-2021 school year;

All players must have seven (7) separate days of physical practice in the same sport activity prior to the 1st day of competition. For the purpose of this bylaw, a “practice” is defined as a regularly scheduled team physical activity designed for the preparation of athletes for the sports season and conducted under the supervision of a certified school coach during the season established by the Board of Directors. In order to qualify as practice the student must participate in at least an hour of physical activity
