In the event that fires fill our sky with smoke, we may cancel practices and games in the best interest of the health of our players.

 

The following explains our decision process for cancelling practices and games.

http://www.sparetheair.com/aqmaps.cfm website shows air quality on an hourly basis.  Based on the air quality as reported by this web site, we will make the following recommendations:

Visibility Range	Health Category	Health Effects*	SGSC Recommendation
10+ miles	Good	None	Play On!
5-10 miles	Moderate	Usually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion.	Play, however sensitive players (i.e. asthma) may need to take it easy.
3-5 miles	Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups	Sensitive people should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.	No Play
1.5-2.5 miles	Unhealthy	Sensitive people should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion.	No Play
1–1.25 miles	Very Unhealthy	Sensitive people should avoid all physical activity outdoors. Everyone else should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion.	No Play
