Blue Valley’s Heat Safety Protocol | Kansas City News

Blue Valley Recreation is keeping kids safe in the heat with a smart, color-coded system that adjusts games and practices based on real-time weather data — from hydration breaks in yellow zones to full cancellations at 110 degrees. Using hourly readings from Olathe Executive Airport and expert meteorological input, they balance safety with consistency, even opting for cooler natural grass fields over turf. Parents always have the final say, and the team reviews guidelines yearly to stay ahead of the heat — so far this week, they’ve stayed just under the orange zone without canceling a single game.
