The health and safety of program participants, volunteer coaches, and staff is our top priority at the Y. As such, the Y will follow guidelines from the Department of Health and local school districts when canceling games or discouraging practices due to poor air quality. Outdoor events will be called off if air quality falls in the Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups range (101-150), in line with both the Kennewick and Pasco School Districts. Air quality data will be available at enviwa.ecology.wa.gov. Games will be canceled no later than 2 hours before the scheduled start time. We will do our best to communicate cancelations on our website ticker announcements and our Facebook page.

Coaches: When you receive our updates, please do your best to communicate with your teams.
