For the second year in a row, CAAD and CIAC have jointly created public service announcements speaking to high school athletics and activities being an important part of the overall educational experience. These PSAs are being used in broadcasts and video streams on the CIAC Network and CPTV sports, and they have also been provided to other broadcast entities across the state.

The spots are high quality and feature footage of Connecticut student-athletes. We would suggest that you view the videos yourself, and consider using them wherever possible within your own school and community (embed them in your website, include them in your video productions, provide them to public access stations, etc.).

The videos can be viewed at and/or embedded from the following YouTube links:

Video #1 - http://youtu.be/XrxtvUrZ7UE
Video #2 - http://youtu.be/irA16cSHcdU

If you would like TV broadcast quality files you can download them using these links:

NOTE: The above two links are big files and may take a while to download depending on your internet connection. Unless you are doing hi-def TV broadcasts, the first set of links should be sufficient for your purposes.

We hope you find these videos useful in spreading the message of education-based sports and activities.
