Please note that down payments for returning student-athletes will be processed on July 15th, 2020. Student-athletes who are new to AAD programming should have had their down payments processed at the time of approval into their program of choice.
If your family received a credit for 2019-2020 programming and that credit was not used on hard goods (such as clothing/equipment at our Year End Sale) or services, the credit will be applied to your down payment cost on the 15th.
For reference, here are the down payment costs for returning student-athletes for each of our programs:
Donnan BJJ – $350.00

In regard to school re-entry and programming for 2020-21, we have not received confirmation as to how the return to school will look to start the year. We have built 3 scenarios for our programming that are based on the Alberta Education 2020-21 School Re-entry Plan. The outlines for those scenarios can be found below:
Alberta Education Scenario 1 – In-School classes resume (near normal with health measures)
What this means for AAD Programming:
- We would anticipate minimal change to the amount of in-person programming that student-athletes at Donnan and Vimy would receive.
What this means for your down payment and installment payments:
- Down payment and installment payments (10 payments from August to May) remain as scheduled.
Alberta Education Scenario 2 – In-school classes partially resume (with additional health measures)
What this means for AAD Programming:
- We would anticipate that this “hybrid” scenario would impact the amount and/or the delivery of in-person programming that student-athletes at Donnan and Vimy would receive. This could mean less in-person programming, smaller group in-person sessions, programming at different times of the day/week and/or an adjustment to venues for training.
What this means for your down payment and installment payments:
- There would be no refund of down payment, but installment payments may be adjusted to reflect programming changes.
Alberta Education Scenario 3 – At-home learning continues (in-school classes are suspended/canceled)
What this means for AAD Programming:
- We would anticipate that our staff would continue to build and deliver a virtual program for our student-athletes at Donnan and Vimy. Student-athletes and their families would be given a choice as to whether they would like to participate in virtual programming at a reduced cost or withdraw from the program until such time as in-person programming resumes.
What this means for your down payment and installment payments:
- Any student-athlete who withdraws in this scenario, would have their 2020-2021 down payment and any installment payments that have been made fully refunded.
- Any student-athlete who chooses to participate in virtual programming, would receive a partial down payment refund and a reduced-cost installment payment plan that they would agree to.
All of these scenarios are subject to change based on the advice and protocols of Donnan/Vimy Administration, EPSB, Alberta Health and Provincial Sport Organizations.
