WINTER BASKETBALL
GVBL Players and Coaches Are Finally Dribbling and Shooting Basketballs!
Following several months of planning/organizing, our GVBL Winter Recreational Basketball League rosters are set and games/practices are scheduled. It's finally time to start playing basketball. For 20+ years GVBL has offered the local communities youth an opportunity to learn how to play basketball and have fun doing it. Because of many, many volunteer coaches, referees and administrators our community basketball league has been extremely popular, with a long term track record of being successful.
To all involved, have fun with it and enjoy the season! Remember to understand what is trying to be accomplished by our Great Valley community basketball league and who is involved...they are all your neighbors, classmates, friend and community members.
Take the time to cheer on every kid, not just those on your team. Take the time to thank the mom or dad who is volunteering to coach or referee any particular game whether your team wins or loses. And always be thoughtful when participating as a player, a fan, a coach or a referee...it's a community league.
Thanks,
Gary Taiariol, GVBL Director
Matt McDaniel, GVBL Scheduling Director
Todd Fredrick, GVBL Tournament Team Director
Tom Curran, GVCO Chairman

GVCO Community Partnership |
|
|
|
Philadelphia is the nation's poorest big city with nearly 300,000 children living in poverty across the region. Cradles 2 Crayons Philadelphia has a reach that goes well beyond the borders of the city itself.

Chester County, including the Malvern area, is included in the region in which C2C is having an impact. GVCO is once again partnering with C2C, hosting our 3rd Annual Donation Drive. Reaching out to our Great Valley community in an effort to help those right here in our area.
Part of C2C's mission: "Our whole focus is to make our collaborative process as easy and streamlined as possible. This helps us to empower the children we serve collaboratively — at home, at school, and at play — by providing the everyday essentials that match their individual needs." GVCO's reach here in the community, coupled with C2C's ability to reach those in need is the perfect partnership for our GVCO Caring Hands foundation.
Childhood poverty is a serious nationwide issue and the local area is not immune. Without adequate and appropriate clothing, children face unfair barriers and participate in life on an unequal playing field. Cradles to Crayons uses the term “Clothing Insecurity” as part of our efforts to formally recognize the issue, and increase awareness on this hidden basic need.
GVCO is proud to be partnering with such a worthy organization in helpng C2C reach its inspiring mission and goals.

Me, "Greatest thing I'll ever be"

What GVCO provided for me and the girls CAN NOT be overstated. Picking them up after school, getting to practice/games, out to eat, hanging with other parents, etc. We got to interact/experience a bit of actual day/day life on life's terms. Nothing takes the place of being there and for sure some things would have been different. So many experiences, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want". I got to play Dad and coach...and the girls had a role model.
Know that GVCO has made a difference in the lives of my daughters and myself. That is very noble.
