Proof of vaccination status can be provided by a photo of the vaccination card to mw.ferguson@outlook.com
Masks
Masks are recommended but NOT required for VYHA participants.
Locker Rooms

Team First Mentality
VYHA is asking that all participants adopt a team first mentality. Health and safety decisions should be made with proper consideration for the risk the participant’s health condition poses to that of the team. Common sense should prevail. Be vigilant! Ex. If a VYHA participant is exhibiting ANY Covid symptoms, they should NOT attend ANY VYHA activity until they have been cleared by the VYHA Covid Advisory Group (AG).
