GVBL is looking for your help this Summer

"OLD GVBL REF CLUB"

Do you miss GVBL coaches yelling at you? Do you miss calling fouls on 7 year olds? Do you miss your neighbors screaming "Bad Call Ref !!" ?

Then GVBL wants you back this summer!

We are looking for adults to referee alongside student referees and help mentor them throughout the season. Think about giving back some of your time to GVBL this summer, get a little exercise and help the kids. Participate as much as you would like through a weekly online referee sign-up form.

Adults interested in reffing should complete an Adult Referee Interest Form.

Any questions can be sent to basketball@gvco.org.

Here are a few refs that did a tremendous job last summer!

Intern Spotlight

Jareth Schmel, a student from Temple University’s School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management has worked as GVCO’s College Intern this semester. You may have been lucky enough to have the chance to work beside him at GVBL, Junior Hoopsters, multiple Caring Hands Events or at the GVCO Complex. We asked Jareth his thoughts as a GVCO Intern and this is what he had to say: “As someone who is not from or lives in the Great Valley area, I felt like a member of the community on day one. I thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the community and delivering on GVCO's mission to enrich their lives.

The workload allowed me to accomplish a variety of different projects while strengthening skills and developing others. I truly felt that my work was necessary and that I was making an impact in the organization and in the community, all while being supported by the staff and volunteers along the way. This internship challenged me and without a doubt prepared me for the next portion of my career”.

Congratulations Jareth, on a job well done!
