Welcome to 2021 GVFL K-1 Flag Football
This will be the 12th year that GVCO has offered programming for youth football. We are excited that you registered your young football player in the program. We fully expect that they and you will thoroughly enjoy the experience.
The Flag Football season will begin on Friday, September 24th at 5:00PM at the new GVCO Community Center Complex, 51 N Bacton Hill Rd, Malvern. Please have your child to the field on time as we will be initially acquainting them with each other, stretching and just generally introducing them to the game of football. The initial practice will last slightly over an hour. And we will be right back at it the following morning at 8:30AM!
Please have your child dress in comfortable shorts or sweatpants and a t-shirt. On Saturday morning, we will provide your child with a jersey and a flag belt that they will need for each practice and game. We encourage each player to wear a mouthguard that you will provide. Your child can wear sneakers or rubber cleats.
Below is a schedule of dates/times for the upcoming Flag Football season.
Thanks for your patience and we look forward to the start of the season!

GVCO Community Partnership |

Immaculata Partnership
For many years, GVCO has enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Temple University's School of Sports Tourism and Hospitality Management. Recently GVCO has reached out to Immaculata's Office of Career and Professional Development to initiate a similar relationship.
As a local community partner, Immaculata is a natural fit for GVCO as we continue to develop further programming here in the Great Valley Community. Immaculata has strength in areas like adult programs and Education - areas that GVCO plans to focus on with the onset of the new facility. As we move into the new school year, look for GVCO and Immaculata working together for the betterment of our local community.

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.

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. |

The Muck Family
"Yes, count us all in!"
This year, the Muck Family vacationed in Lake Placid, NY. On their second day, one of the kids had the wild idea of hiking Mt. Marcy, the tallest mountain in NY. At the top, you can see as far as Quebec and Lake Champlain
The hike is 15 miles, 7.5 hours, and 3,574 feet in elevation. What? This is certainly a wild idea! “Yes, count us all in!” During the climb, we passed many other hikers, who offered bits of what to expect ahead and words of encouragement. This picture is at the end of the day, dirty and tired, but the smiles show we were so glad we did it!
The folks at GVCO are embarking on another wild idea with building the community center. It has taken and will continue to require a lot of hard work and determination, and help from others along the way is essential. When GVCO asked us to help with the Capital Campaign, of course, we said “Yes, count us all in!” All six of us have graduated from GVHS and we love Malvern. We see the GVCO Community Center as being a pinnacle in the lives of those of us lucky enough to call Great Valley home and we are sure it will bring smiles to all the faces from young to old in the community at the end of the day.
Keep climbing GVCO!
Wiley, Brian, Jill, Ellie, AJ, and Danny Muck
