 Calling All Kindergartners and 1st Graders
 
Looking for a
fun outdoor program
for your youngsters this fall?
 

Try our GVFL K-1st Flag Football League
 
We keep the team rosters small and play 5 v 5 so all the kids get a chance to participate. Each player will have a chance to be QB and have the opportunity to be the running back who runs for a touchdown at every game!
We have created a schedule that requires an appropriate level of commitment for Kindergarten and 1st grade players. Players will have a 1 hour practice on a weeknight and a 1 hour game on Saturday mornings. The first practice will be on Thursday, September 9th and the final game will be held the last weekend in October.

All sessions will be held at the new GVCO Community Center complex, 51 N Bacton Hill Rd., Malvern.
 
Registration is open now.

Fall Cheer
 
·    Fall Cheer for grades K-1
·    Fall Cheer for grades 2-6
 
Questions can be sent to Cheer@GVCO.org
 
Fall Cheer begins in early August. Athletes will learn cheers, dances and jumps to be performed during Fall football games. Each week, grades K-1 will have a one hour long practice at a location within the Great Valley School District.
 
Cheer for Grades 2-6  combines sideline cheer for football and basketball with competitive cheer where the athletes will compete in competitions in the local area. The athletes will spend time on the fundamentals of stunting, learn a competition routine, condition, work on tumbling and learn cheers for football and basketball. They will also do other voluntary community events to perform to the community, and specifics will be communicated as they are scheduled.

Summer Basketball
We are more than halfway through this season and are less than 3 weeks away from the playoffs! The games have been getting better and better each week so we're excited to see some great games leading up to the division championships.
Caring Hands
Caring Hands is a student-led volunteer group that supports the community through various activities. Students in grades 7-12 and their parents can sign up for the Constant Contact Caring Hands News distribution list for the 2022-23 school year.
Crew
Registration is open for students in grades 8-12 as of Fall 2022. All area students are welcome to participate in the Fall Crew program.

Great Valley Crew will be rowing out of the John S. Trinsey Jr. Memorial Boathouse in Bridgeport. Students must provide their own transportation.

PRACTICES are MONDAY-WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY 3:45-6:15PM and SATURDAYS at Trinsey from 10AM to 1PM.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a competitive rowing team and we need your full commitment to all practices and regattas. We need the whole team at every practice to ensure we can get on the water ever day the weather conditions allow. One rower missing practice means an entire boat must stay on-land.
