The Sports Commission staff has a great relationship with the WIAA staff and executive board as well as many athletic directors. We will do everything we can to make their time in the Yakima Valley, and their State experience, the best it can be.” RICH AUSTIN, DIRECTOR OF THE YAKIMA VALLEY SPORTS COMMISSION The Yakima Valley Sports Commission’s dedication to high school sports has attracted WIAA events and turned Yakima into the “Championship City.” The community hosts WIAA State Tourneys in basketball, dance/drill, volleyball, tennis, baseball, fastpitch softball, slowpitch softball and track and field.
