GVBL Update

GVBL Basketball and GVBL Center update:

GVBL leadership and Advisory Board are staying abreast of the evolving conditions, meeting regularly to discuss options and mapping out strategies for restarting our programming. Gary Taiariol, GVBL President, shares this update:

Returning soon - GVBL Basketball!!!!!?

We hope that everyone is doing well during these difficult times. As we have previously shared, we will no longer be playing basketball at the GVBL Center. However, lots of planning is going on behind the scenes for the return of GVBL Basketball at other locations, while we await the building of our New GVCO Center.

We have begun planning for our winter season, while also researching options for an abbreviated summer/ fall schedule. Our tournament teams are getting ready to resume and we are lining up clinicians and trainers to run clinics.

While we are uncertain of when we will be allowed to resume operations, lots of planning is going on behind the scenes to be ready to go. Once it is safe for basketball to return, GVBL will be ready to offer basketball options for the Great Valley community. Until then, tell your kids to keep practicing!

Thanks,

Gary Taiariol

GVBL President

We firmly believe in the value of the community center as a central focus for bringing families together and providing a broad range of sports/activities programming for all ages. We have updated the website with valuable information for the project, including GVCO Sustainability Report with revenue/expense analyses, floor plans , and a GVCO Walk-Through Video to help you understand the business plan and to visualize the new facility.

As mentioned in the last GVCO Newsletter, GVCO felt there was no better time to rally the community in initiating the move from the antiquated and unhealthy GVBL Center to the brand new facility. The new GVCO Community Center will give us the opportunity to add all of the necessary health and safety standards that will come with the new post-Covid world.

As always thanks for your support.

GVCO Project Updates

Jun 8 2020:

Out With The Old...

In mid May GVCO began the demolition of the GVBL Center, a space we have leased and created many great memories since 2005. Unfortunately with the pandemic and the evolving rules and guidelines, the GVBL Center is no longer a healthy and safe viable option for our programming (see recent Restore Chester County guidelines as we move forward towards the "Green Phase").

Fortunately we have made tremendous progress towards our goal of providing a new GVCO Community Center as preliminary site work has begun at the Bacton Hill site. Additional funding is still necessary to secure the final bank financing to raise the building and open the doors.

GVCO will be renewing our efforts with our capital campaign following the hiatus due to pandemic. A final push towards our goal will be rolled out in the coming weeks and months. The hope is to get a much greater degree of participation from the entire community (see current donor list ).
