Ten Things Parents Need to Know
Liability Waivers
In order for your child to participate in the GCCYS, ALL parents/guardians must fill out a Liability Waiver form for each of their children playing in our league once per school year. We try to help out our coordinators by matching up waivers with roster entries so please double check the spelling of your child's last name, verify date of birth, and make sure you choose the correct organization. Parents may begin filling out Liability Waivers for the 2019-20 school year on June 1st. Waivers are due by November 29th for the basketball season. Please note that if your daughter played volleyball, there is no need to fill out another waiver for the basketball season.

League Tournament
The season-ending league tournament will take place from February 13-16 for grades 3rd-4th (and 5th boys) and February 20-23 for grades 6th-8th (and 5th girls). The Sunday of tournament weekend is reserved for championship and consolation games only. We will work around parish conflicts as best as we can but there is very limited time available for this tournament to be played. All teams participate in the tournament unless they notify the league by February 1st. Schedules are published one week before the tournament begins. A team trophy is given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place team in each bracket. Girls championship games for 6th-8th grades are usually played at area high schools such as Mount Notre Dame.
