Team Basket Drop-offs
The drop-offs for Team Baskets and items have begun. GVBL families have really put on their creative thinking caps! The Team Baskets are going to be awesome.
Remember, teams can either assemble the basket themselves or bag up all of the items for assembly by a GVBL volunteer.
We will continue to take Team Basket drop-offs at the under construction GVCO Community Center complex at 51 N Bacton Hill Rd., Malvern. Baskets and items can be left at the small shed & table.
Someone will also be in the white site trailer on weekdays from 9am - 4pm for drop-offs or questions.
|
|
Team baskets and items can be dropped off at Grand Slam on Saturday and Sunday Feb. 18-19. Leave them by the Team Basket Donations sign at the far end of the basketball court. GVBL volunteers will come get them.
If neither of these is convenient, please email basketball@gvco.org and we will work out a time that may be convenient for you.
Thanks for the support.
And you don't want to miss the GVBL March Madness Shootout, year end Gala, on March 4th at the Desmond.

We have brought back the ever-popular Pop-A-Shot shootout competition to our March fundraising event. We have had a ton of fun with this at past events - a little friendly competition between our GVBL community parents the evening of the event.
The winners of each division will face each other in the semi-finals.
The championship match will be the 2 semi-finalist winners with the winner's name engraved on the GVBL Shootout trophy to be immortalized forever!
- Each division has 24 spots reserved for parents of players in that division plus 8 wildcard spots
-
The entry fee is $10 prior to the event and $20 at the event
- Entrants will be placed randomly in a playoff bracket
- During the 6-7PM cocktail hour, we will hold a "Pick Your Opponent" opportunity for $5. Once a pair has been picked, neither person can be re-picked
- All bracketing is available in the GVBL app. It will be updated daily until the Shootout event
Sign up while supplies (bracket spots) last!
