Summer League & GVBL Rising 4th Grade Tournament Teams

April 20, 2021

GVBL NEWS

GVBL 2021 Summer Rec League Registration is now OPEN!

In addition this summer…

Our GVBL 2021 summer league will begin June 14^th and run until August 12th. The league will be eligible to boys going into 1^st through 12^th grades and girls going into 1^st through 8^th 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 will be 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.

Fall Football:

Flag for grades K-1

Tackle for grades 2-6

The Great Valley Football League is an instructional youth football league for kids in grades K-6. The purpose of the program is to create a fun experience for the kids, playing and learning the game of football while competing with their peers from the surrounding communities. We pride ourselves on creating a strong sense of community among our volunteers, parents and athletes throughout our season and beyond. We are looking forward to another season of football and cheer!

The spring conditioning clinics will be for athletes who are interested in training and enhancing their strength in anticipation of the fall sports season with a focus on exercises and drills for strengthening muscles used for cheer. This will be in June and July to get the athletes ready for the cheer season.

Flag cheer will return for grades K-1 where they will learn cheers and routines to perform at the flag football games in the fall. Practices will begin in early August.

The cheer program this year for grades 2-6 will include cheering for both football in the fall and basketball in early winter. The athletes will also perform in competitions in the fall. Practices will begin in early August.

GVCO Project Update

Pipelines Marked Out

The pipelines have been identified and marked. This is important for the site contractor as they prepare to install construction entrance to the back of the property.

With the assistance of All Phase Electric, PECO also energized the site trailer today. All Phase Electric President Chris Caniglia, Malvern resident and long- time supporter of multiple GVCO programs, donated his time and services to coordinate and install the site trailer’s electrical hook-up.

Go to https://www.gvco.org/Default.aspx?tabid=1329444 to learn the entire picture where we are and what it is going to take to make this facility happen.
