In order for our robust winter basketball program to run for the past 20 years, we need volunteer coaches! Our coaches are the backbone of this program and are a huge reason why this has been so successful!
GVBL would be looking for you to donate a mere 3 hours a week during the season to help and teach basketball to the kids here in our community. Volunteer registration opens on 9/15.

Great Valley Crew will be rowing out of the John S. Trinsey Jr. Memorial Boathouse in Bridgeport. Students must provide their own transportation but there is a carpool interest list.
Practices begin August 15th: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 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.

There will be a couple competitions during the fall on the weekend.
Once football games and competitions are over, the athletes drop to one practice a week to continue to work on stunting and learn basketball cheers. They will cheer at GVBL tournament team games. During basketball season, the schedule is significantly reduced to allow for the cheerleaders to also play for GVBL or other winter sports. The cheer season will wrap up in December.
