GVBL Summer Basketball Update - HOT NEWS!!

The Great Valley Basketball League is happy to announce that we are working with the Great Valley School District and other local sites to offer a recreational summer outdoor basketball league for boys and girls living within the Great Valley School District.

Plans remain fluid and lots of work is being completed to ensure that we can offer a safe and fun outdoor league for players entering grades 3 - 8 to participate starting in July.

For now we have lined up facilities for Boys and Girls 3/4 Divisions at the Desmond Hotel court. Once additional sites are finalized, we will open up registrations for the other divisions.

GVBL Basketball and GVBL Center Update - June 2020

Returning soon - GVBL Basketball?!

We hope that everyone is doing well during these difficult times. As we have previously shared, we will no longer be playing basketball at the GVBL Center. However, lots of planning is going on behind the scenes for the return of GVBL Basketball at other locations, while we await the building of our New GVCO Center.

While we are uncertain of when we will be allowed to resume operations, we have begun planning for our winter season, while also researching options for an abbreviated summer/ fall schedule. Our tournament teams are getting ready to resume and we are lining up clinicians and trainers to run clinics.

Once it is safe for basketball to return, GVBL will be ready to offer basketball options for the Great Valley community. Until then, tell your kids to keep practicing!

Thanks,
Gary Taiariol
GVBL President
