TOURNAMENT TEAM NEWS

This weekend, three Great Valley Tournament Teams will be playing at the John Streeper Memorial Basketball Shootout.

Good luck to the Raptors, Knights and Raiders.
WHERE WE PLAY THE BASKETBALL

Obviously the biggest challenge for GVBL is finding the gym space, and allocating that gym space, for the 80+ teams we will have playing this winter season. There just isn't enough available court space within our district. Obviously GVCO is addressing that issue with the new GVCO Community Center project on Bacton Hill Rd - much more to come about this as we move through the season!. In the meantime, we are renting the court space from some of our "community partners". Please remember to treat all of these facilities with respect while visiting for practices and games. The Phelps School, Grand Slam and the GVSD have been nice enough to allow us to use their buildings, so please treat this usage properly as we cannot afford to lose our privileges at any of these facilities
THANK YOU TO OUR LOCAL CORPORATE & BUSINESS SPONSORS OF OUR 2022-2023 GVBL WINTER LEAGUE

Once again we have had tremendous local support for what we are trying to accomplish with our GVBL winter rec league. Without this support, there would be a financial shortfall for equipment, administration and facilities rental. GVBL would like to thank all those who have stepped up to support GVBL. Please scroll to the bottom of this publication for a complete listing of those who have provided support. If you are familiar with who they are, please reach out to thank them. In addition, as always please try and support these local businesses throughout the year, shopping and doing business right here at home.

Winter White Out
Siddhant Suresh Scholarship Fund

This scholarship fund was created to honor the memory of Siddhant Suresh, a wonderful son and brother, beloved community member and an outstanding student who loved basketball and chess. Siddhant was a GVBL tournament team and recreation league player, who enjoyed the sport and played it with great team spirit and enthusiasm.
As a selfless player on the basketball court, and a true, caring friend off the court, Siddhant epitomizes the values on which our Great Valley Community organization is built…family, friends and community.

This scholarship is designed to help others who may need assistance, giving them the opportunity to participate in GVCO programming.

Participants must reside within Great Valley School District to be eligible for the scholarship funds.
