GVBL Summer Rec League Registration is now OPEN!
Register for Girls and Boys 1st - 8th Gr. Divisions
Register for the Boys High School division
Our GVBL 2021 summer league will run June 14th to August 12th. The league will be eligible to boys going into 1st through 12th grades and girls going into 1st through 8th grades in the Fall of 2021. Games will be played on Monday through Thursday evenings. GVBL will be taking a maximum of 80 registrants per division. The high school division will be limited to GVSD residents only.
As always, we are looking for volunteers to coach at the elementary/MS divisions.
COVID-19 continues to hamper our ability to get indoor court space within our GVSD school buildings, as the district facilities remain closed to non school district usage. GVBL has secured outdoor court space within the district and we will be holding our summer league outdoors - as we did in the early 2000's - in the summer of 2021.
