The Acadia Players Association is a committee consisting of
student-athletes. We are a group created to enhance the experience
of Acadia Varsity athletes as well as create a sense of community
amongst all athletes. We organize events to celebrate Acadia
Athletics, identify issues, recommend solutions and express the
interests and concerns of Acadia athletes to the Department of
Athletics, Acadia University and the community.
Our mission is to promote opportunity, protect student-athlete
welfare and foster a positive student-athlete image, thus enhancing
the total student-athlete experience at Acadia University.
The Acadia Players Association was founded in the 2001-2002 school
year by a group of Acadia student-athletes, led by Matthew Green
(Football) and Kristy Martin (Rugby). It was created to represent
student athletes. A constitution was created in 2003 to solidify
the intentions of the Acadia Players Association. This
constitution was presented to and approved by a group of student
athletes. Currently, there are representatives from each of the
eight varsity teams who sit on the Acadia Players Association
committee.
