Give back to the community this winter by volunteering to coach with GVBL this coming season.

Each year the Great Valley Basketball League (GVBL) sponsors GV Tournament Teams for boys and girls. 

The GVBL Tournament Team Program was established to provide a more competitive and stronger level of basketball than our rec program. The commitment to practice is greater, the development of the players is accelerated and there is an additional cost associated with this program. The primary objective for the tournament team will be to train and develop the players on a higher level, providing an opportunity for them to excel in a more competitive, yet fun environment. Please see GV tournament team for further info.

This fall we will be holding tryouts once again for tournament team program. These are grade based teams, grades 4th through 8th. All participants must be GVSD residents. All participants are required to play in our GVBL winter recreational league. A complete tryout schedule can be found in the tournament team basketball section of the our GVCO website.

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.
