Thank You to Our Student Referees |
|
We would like to thank all of our student referees for their hard work this summer! They've been a big help with our basketball program and we couldn't hold summer league without them. It means a lot to see so many young adults giving back to their community, and offering their time and skills to us so we can have a successful season! The GVBL Summer League would not run without them! It is so rewarding to see GVBL participants giving back to the program that they grew up with. We hope that this continues for years and years to come!
Thank you again to all of our amazing student referees!
