May 14 Update: Congratulations to all boys volleyball tournament winners. The league will be taking a few months break for the summer. Timelines are available on the website for the fall girls volleyball season and we will also be posting timelines for the 2022-23 girls and boys basketball seasons soon. We hope everyone has an enjoyable summer and please do not hesitate to reach out to the league with any questions you might have
Key Information
For better service, please use our Communication Form to communicate with the league. You can ask questions, share a positive experience, and report incidents of misconduct. By using the form, your questions will be routed to the appropriate people which will result in a quicker response to your questions and resolution of your issues!
Communication FormALL parents/guardians must fill out the GCCYS Liability Waiver form for each of their children. A copy of the filled out form will be sent to the email address you specify on the waiver. In addition, after submitting the form, you may choose to print it out for your own records.
Players will not be allowed to participate in league games until the waiver has been submitted. PLEASE NOTE, that a liability waiver only needs to be filled out once per school year. If your daughter participated in fall volleyball and is playing winter basketball, there is no need to fill out another form.
If you create a user account before you fill out a waiver form, you can view and edit your form from your Subscriber Portal. You must be logged into the web site when you fill out your waiver form to take advantage of this.

2022-23 Season Timelines
Timelines for the 2022-23 girls volleyball, girls basketball, and boys basketball seasons are now available on the league pages (under the Leagues menu). You will notice several changes to the girls basketball timelines based on a league-wide vote that took place earlier this spring. click here to read more ...Changes for Girls Basketball
Based on a recent league vote, there will be some changes for the 2022-23 girls basketball season. Due to declining numbers, the GCCYS wants to be proactive and provide fewer obstacles for girls who want to play basketball but also play another sport. The hope is that these changes result in increased numbers for girls basketball.
Here are the changes for the upcoming season:
- The girls season will begin the first weekend in November and will take place on the following weekends: 11/5, 11/12, 11/19, 12/3 (boys start at this time), 12/10, 12/17, 1/7
- The girls tournament will take place from January 12-15
- Instead of separate 5th and 6th grade divisions, there will now be a combined 5th/6th grade division and will be referred to as the "reserve" division. Levels of play offered will be level 1, level 2, level 3, and level 5 (recreational). Parishes/schools can choose how they want to build the combined grade teams, but they need to register them in the appropriate skill level.
- Instead of separate 7th and 8th grade divisions, there will now be a combined 7th/8th grade division and will be referred to as the "varsity" division. Levels of play offered will be level 1, level 2, level 3, and level 5 (recreational). Parishes/schools can choose how they want to build the combined grade teams, but they need to register them in the appropriate skill level.
A season timeline will be updated on the girls basketball page in the coming weeks. Please note that in order to start earlier, teams must be registered earlier so parishes/schools need to pay close attention to the timelines and hold tryouts/evaluations (if applicable) earlier than in past seasons.
This information was emailed to all league members a few weeks ago. If you have any questions, please contact the league. Thanks!
