ACAC cancels fall sports, reschedules winter sports to 2021

Decision to affect Briercrest College basketball, volleyball and men’s hockey
Clippers action Saturday
The Briercrest College Clippers will have to wait a bit before we'll see scenes like this on the court again.
The Alberta Colleges Athletic Association became the latest sports organization involving local teams to shut down for the remainder of 2020.

The ACAC announced Friday that all fall semester sports had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning the Briercrest College Clippers will see a late start for their hockey, volleyball and basketball teams.

The good news is rather than cancelling outright with no future date to resume, plans are in place to pick things up in January 2021 for all five sports the Clipper are involved in, as well as running the regular fall competitions – golf, cross country and soccer – beginning in April 2021.

The official start date, format and length of the schedule for each sport has yet to be determined and will depend on when clearance is give to open.

A special meeting will take place on June 25 to further discuss schedules, formats and student athlete eligibility.

For the latest information, be sure to keep an eye on www.acac.ab.ca.
