WINTER BASKETBALL
Registration for our GVBL Winter Rec League Basketball remains open to October 26th.
We have received a great deal of registrations across all divisions. But with limited gym space, the number of participants per division will be limited.
Certain divisions could potentially close prior to the October 26th date.
GVBL will be holding Skills Assessments for all players registered for our GVBL Winter Rec League. Each participant is required to attend a minimum of one of these Skills Assessment sessions. We are going to great lengths to provide multiple sessions over the course of the next two weeks.
- Team Assignments will proceed after Skills Assessments sessions.
- Rosters will be posted during the 1st week of Novemeber.
- Uniforms will be distributed November 6th.
- Practices will begin the week of November 8th.
All information is available on the GVCO.org website and the weekly GVBL Around The Rim updates sent via Constant Contact each Monday afternoon.
There will be one practice (roughly 1 hr) sometime during the week and one game (roughly 1 hr) a week on the weekend. Games and practices will be held at a location with GVSD boundaries. During registration, we allow parents to choose one day a week that will NOT work for practice in order to allow some flexibility in scheduling other activities.

GVBL Junior Hoopsters
We continue to be hopeful that we will be able to offer a Jr Hoopsters program for kindergarten and 4 year old pre-schoolers this 20211-2022 GVBL season. Unfortunately, gym space is at a premium. GVBL will make the determination for the Jr Hoopsters program following the start up of the GVBL Rec League for 1st thru 8th grades. Please check back in Mid November for further information with regard to our Jr Hoopsters program.

GVBL App
Use it or get left behind on important GVBL Winter League info
For several years, we have been promoting the GVBL app and it will be imperative to use it for all Winter league info. We have found this tool to be the best way to communicate rosters, schedules, updates, info and more. Upon registration, GVBL asks that you take the time to download the GVBL app and use it as your main source of info for our GVBL programs.

Lend a Paw
Donation Drive
|
|
Our 1st Annual Lend A Paw donation drive in association with the Brandywine Valley SPCA and Senator Committa's office was a huge success! Woof! Woof!
Thanks to your efforts, Caring Hands collected dog and cat food, kitty litter, treats, toys, sheets, towels and bedding for the SPCA animals. Caring Hands volunteers made dozens of food puzzles for dogs, sock toys for cats and many, many peanut butter filled kongs.

GVCO Community Partnership |

|
Philadelphia is the nation's poorest big city with nearly 300,000 children living in poverty across the region. Cradles 2 Crayons Philadelphia has a reach that goes well beyond the borders of the city itself.
|
|
Chester County, including the Malvern area, is included in the region in which C2C is having an impact. GVCO is once again partnering with C2C, hosting our 3rd Annual Donation Drive. Reaching out to our Great Valley community in an effort to help those right here in our area.
Part of C2C's mission: "Our whole focus is to make our collaborative process as easy and streamlined as possible. This helps us to empower the children we serve collaboratively — at home, at school, and at play — by providing the everyday essentials that match their individual needs." GVCO's reach here in the community, coupled with C2C's ability to reach those in need is the perfect partnership for our GVCO Caring Hands foundation.
Childhood poverty is a serious nationwide issue and the local area is not immune. Without adequate and appropriate clothing, children face unfair barriers and participate in life on an unequal playing field. Cradles to Crayons uses the term “Clothing Insecurity” as part of our efforts to formally recognize the issue, and increase awareness on this hidden basic need.
GVCO is proud to be partnering with such a worthy organization in helpng C2C reach its inspiring mission and goals.

THE STONE BASE COURSE FOR THE DRIVEWAY & UPPER PARKING LOT HAS BEEN INSTALLED
For 3 straight days last week, Charlestown Paving worked to get the drive/upper parking lot installed. What seemed like 100 truckloads of material were delivered, leveled and than rolled. The picture above is taken from the back of the site from behind the practice field. The pad for the building is on the left. The driveway down to Bacton Hill Rd can be seen at the far end.

We are on our way...
to a world-class community resource that delivers a broad range of sports, educational, arts, recreational and senior programs that address key community needs.

The time is NOW.... Together we can make it happen!
We need your help to finish what we've started! We will not get the necessary financing to complete the project without raising additional funds.

"Yes, count us all in!"
How lucky are we to have a new community center in our area?! GVCO has been a part of our lives since our children used to play hoops at GVBL over 15 years ago. The camaraderie and good spirits in that gym were refreshing and seeing the kids grow into a sport they liked made it so enjoyable.
|
|
In 2019, we were able to participate in and volunteer our time when GVCO introduced Pickleball. Over 200 players got involved and had a blast learning and playing the game and participating in other GVCO programming as well as the Caring Hands Foundation.
We cannot wait for the new center and the new pickleball courts! We are thrilled that the building will house many sports, programs, and activities that benefit the community. The new center is a true labor of love for the many parents and volunteers who have given so much of their time and effort to the project.
If you have not already done so, please help the cause and donate today so we can all benefit from all that GVCO has available. Let's make GVCO the place to go!
