ASCA tournaments usually take place the same day (not date!) each year. The Elementary School Districts are held the fourth Friday in January. Middle School Districts are held on the Saturday following the Martin King Luther, Jr. holiday, and Middle School State is held on the fourth Saturday in February. Junior Varsity Districts are held the first Friday in February, and Junior Varsity State is held the first Friday in March. High School Division I, II, and III District Tournaments are held the second Friday in February, and High School Division I, II, and III State Tournaments are held the second Friday in April. If the second Friday in April is Good Friday, the tournament coordinator will determine and announce the date of the High School State Tournaments at the beginning of the season.
AISA tournament dates and locations are determined by the Alabama Independent School Association. For more information, contact Meribeth Minshew at meribeth@aisaonline.org.
