ACAA aligns divisions on a two-year cycle. The ACAA currently operates two divisions of sanctioned athletics. Division 2A consists of smaller schools and Division 3A consists of the 12 largest schools. We do have the structure in place to expand to three divisions should the league continue to grow and the opportunity arise.
In the early spring every two years schools are asked to send in their enrollment numbers for students in grades 5 – 11. Those numbers are compiled into a spreadsheet to evaluate the enrollment sizes of our athletic schools.
Each of the divisions are divided into North and South Regions and those are then divided into areas based on geographical locations. Conference play is determined on a two-year cycle based on placement in realignment.
