Sports Association for Adelaide Schools


The Sports Association for Adelaide Schools is a group of schools in South Australia involved in a variety of sporting and cultural activities.

Controversy

The football competition came to media attention in March 2011 when it was reported that schools were offering scholarships to lure the top footballers from rival schools since the introduction of premiership tables. The scholarships ensured the players were obliged to play for their schools, rather than within the SANFL, the peak football competition in South Australia.
This issue came to further media attention in August 2013 when it was reported that Cory Gregson, a player within the Sacred Heart first XVIII was not permitted to make his League debut with the Glenelg Football Club due to being a required player for his school team.
