ACAC makes change

Jun 19, 2020 | 2:23 PM

MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat College Rattlers won’t be on the pitch or the links this fall.

The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference announced the cancellation of the fall season today, putting the Rattlers soccer and golf teams temporarily on the sidelines.

In a news release, the ACAC says the fall sports will shift to the spring semester with play beginning in April 2021. Athletes won’t be required to enrol in the spring semester, but must “meet and maintain academic and other requirements for ACAC eligibility in the Winter 2021 semester.”

The Rattlers say they encourage all athletes to continue their education in September and begin team training when permitted. When possible the athletes will take part in community engagement opportunities during the semester. Non-conference exhibition games will be scheduled in the fall semester when safe and permitted.
