Girls Volleyball Tournament Information

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

Planning is underway for the season-ending tournament that will take place from Thursday, October 10th through Sunday, October 13th.

  1. All tournament games will be played in parish gyms.  We hope to have a preliminary schedule of gym usage available to all parishes/schools by September 26th.  This schedule might change slightly after we release it but it will give parishes/schools the ability to plan their gym staffing for the tournament.
  2. All teams in 3rd-5th grade will be split into tournament brackets based on regular season record across all pods.
  3. As with regular season games, each coach will need to pay the referee $13 (top 2 brackets in 6th-8th grade will have two referees so each team pays a total of $26), both teams should provide a lines person, and the "home team" should work the scoreboard.  The home team is always the higher seed.
  4. The schedule will be released on Thursday evening, October 3rd as we will base the bracket assignments and seedings on all regular season results through five weeks of the regular season.
  5. Once the schedule is released we CANNOT change it.  We have such a small window for these games, there can be absolutely no changes.  If a team cannot make it, they will need to forfeit the match.
  6. If your team will NOT be participating in the tournament, coaches or coordinators please email the league no later than September 26th!

Girls Volleyball Divisions

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

As girls volleyball teams are approved and assigned to divisions/zones, they will appear on the Standings page.  Please note the following about how this process works.

6th-8th Teams

6th-8th grade teams are registered by their coordinator into Level 1, 2, 3, or 4 with level 1 being the most competitive division and level 4 being considered as a recreational division which plays by a different set of playing time rules.  Our girls volleyball commissioner reviewed the registrations and we had a league meeting on June 24th to discuss with all volleyball coordinators.  Some teams were moved up or down a level from where they registered to try and find the best level of play for each team based on how that team finished last year and how their roster looks for the upcoming season.

3rd-5th Teams

A survey was sent out to all girls volleyball coordinators asking them to re-affirm (or not) the methodology used to group these teams into zones.  The results of the survey overwhelmingly confirmed the approach the league has taken since its inception four years ago.  Since all of the teams in 3rd-5th grade are considered to be "balanced" teams (i.e. talent is spread evenly across teams if a league member has multiple teams for a given grade), our member's first priority is to reduce travel time to away games for parents, players, and coaches.  Thus, teams are assigned to zones mostly be geography.  We would like to have fewer teams per zone (ideally 11 teams), however, it is also a high priority for our members to not play other teams from the same parish.  Since some of the larger parishes can have 3 or 4 teams per grade, we are forced to create larger zones with enough teams to avoid intra-parish matchups and to also avoid a team playing another team twice in the regular season.

We hope you find this information useful!

Game Reschedules

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

As we are getting more and more COVID cases in our league and it is also cold and flu season, please read this reminder about postponing and rescheduling games.  Coaches should not reschedule their games, this is a job for coordinators who will work with their coaches.

Postponing

  1. Games will be postponed due to illness, school event, or gym closure.
  2. Coordinators should contact the league as soon as they are aware of a legitimate reason to postpone the game
  3. NEW POLICY AS OF 1/17:  The league will attempt to fill any gaps in the schedule at the gym by moving the first or last game of the day into that gym slot if the postponement is communicated to the league before 10pm on Wednesday for Friday games, 10pm on Thursday for Saturday games, and 10pm on Friday for Sunday games.  Please note that if the gap is in the middle of the day for a gym with a large amount of games, we will most likely not fill the gap as we don't want to reschedule a game by 5 hours with only 2 days notice

Rescheduling

  1. The coordinator of the team that postponed the game should get in touch with the coordinator of the opposing team to work out a reschedule
  2. Reschedules must be communicated to the league before Wednesday at 10pm for games that upcoming weekend
  3. Games must be rescheduled adjacent to an existing set of games. 
  4. Games can be rescheduled during the week (Monday and Wednesday nights are preferable) if at least two games are played that evening and must be communicated to the league at least 3 days before the game.

Basketball Season Schedules Now Available

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

The full season schedule for girls and boys basketball is now available (11/17 8pm).  These schedules were reviewed by the coordinators from each parish/school and feedback was provided to the league before the schedule was finalized.  Thank you to all coordinators for their feedback, almost all of which was incorporated into the schedule.

Schedules can be found in a variety of formats from the Schedule menu (by Team, by Date, by Gym).  If you are a coach, you can also view a pre-filtered version of the schedule which only shows your team from your Coach Portal.  Others who created an account on the web site and subscribed to a team or teams, can view those schedules on their Subscriber Portal.

It is important to note that now that the schedule is live, making changes to it will be very difficult.  Any feedback a coach might have with the schedule should be directed to their parish/school coordinator and not the league.  League coordinators are instructed to inform the league of any issues that might arise with the schedule and to work with the league and the coordinator of their opponent on reschedules.  The league will ignore any direct requests from coaches to reschedule or cancel matches.

Thanks and have a great season!

ALL TOURNAMENT BRACKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE.    REPORT YOUR TOURNAMENT SCORES IN A TIMELY MANNER.  Teams are advanced through the tournament based on a score being reported.  Good luck to all teams!

Here are a few notes about the tournament:

  1. Seeding and bracket assignment were done mostly by winning percentage although we try to avoid first round intra-parish matchups.  These are based on full season results that were reported as of 9:30pm on Sunday, Octobero 10th.  Any scores reported or changed after that time were NOT taken into consideration.
  2. There will be NO consolation matches this year for any grade.
  3. A down ref will be used for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade level 1 and level 2 brackets.  Teams should pay each ref $13 for a total of $26 per team.
  4. There are a few level 3 teams playing in a level 4 bracket in 8th grade.  That bracket will follow the level 4 regular season playing time rules.

This physical bracket will show the teams as they advance through the tournament (scores must be logged to advance the teams on the bracket) and will also show the scores of completed games.  Please note that this is not a responsive bracket and while you can view it from a mobile device, it is best viewed from a computer or tablet.  Horizontal and vertical scroll bars are available to help you view the entire bracket.

There is also a way to easily locate the bracket your team is playing in by clicking on the Find My Bracket link, enter the last name of your coach or your entire team name, and a listing of teams in your bracket will appear along with their seeding and record.  You can then easily click on the bracket name to display the physical bracket.

Check out the links below.  You can also access this tournament information from the Post Season Tourney option on the Schedule menu.

Inclement Weather Policy

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

With snow in the forecast for this weekend, now is a good time to post a reminder about the GCCYS Inclement Weather Policy. As the GCCYS is informed of gym closings by parish/school coordinators (they can do this via the contact form or by contacting Amerileagues or GCCYS commissioners directly), this information will be shared on the front page of the web site. In addition, games will be marked as postponed or cancelled which will trigger email and SMS text notifications to those that subscribe to Game Status Change notifications for teams affected. If we have a very large weather event, the web site might be put into maintenance mode in order to handle traffic. If this is the case, listings of closed gyms will appear.

GCCYS Policy: Games/matches may be postponed due to extreme inclement weather where the safety of the coaches, players and spectators are at risk. It will be the responsibility of the parish/school site representative and coordinator, at the hosting school, to make the decision regarding the closing of their facility. The coordinator must provide notification to GCCYS a minimum of 90 minutes prior to the start of a game/match. All subsequent games/matches will be cancelled except in cases where it may be possible to re-open later in the day. If a host team's gym is open but the visiting team decides not to participate it will result in a forfeit. Request for postponement and reschedule will be accepted from coordinators only.

Coaches - Score Reporting

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

Just a quick word about score reporting. The coach of the winning team is responsible for reporting the score of the game within 48 hours of the game being played.  Coaches can access score reporting from several places:

  1. There is a Report Scores menu option on the Portals->Coach menu
  2. On your Coach Portal, games that need scores to be reported will be shown in the upper right hand corner of the portal
  3. In the My Team Schedule section of your Coach Portal, you can report scores for games AND correct scores that were entered in error for up to 14 days after the game has been played
  4. You can edit your account and subscribe to Score Reporting Notifications.  You will receive an email during your game with a link to the score reporting form

Please note that you must have an account with coach level access in order to access a Coach Portal or subscribe to the Score Reporting Reminder notification. Accounts were created for all coaches based on the email address your coordinator used to register your team (in some cases your coordinator used a different email address than the coach was expecting OR mis-spelled the email address). IF YOU CREATED YOUR OWN ACCOUNT, you most likely do not have coach level access unless you discussed this with the league. Game scores can be edited up to 14 days after your game (via the My Team Schedule section of your Coach Portal OR by resubmitting the score reporting form that was emailed to you if you subscribe to that notification) in case they have been reported incorrectly. If you are the coach of the losing team and the score has not been logged after 3 days, please help us out and log the score yourself. Thanks!

To do so, please request a new password by navigating to the Password Reset Page and enter the email address that your coordinator gave the league.

If you are not sure which email address this is, then go to the Teams Page on the Organization menu and look for the email address associated with your team.

Game Change Notifications

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

Now that the initial schedule has been frozen for the fall leagues, we are going to activate game change notifications. From this point forward when a scheduled game has a change in location, a change in game time, or either of the two teams are changed, you can receive an email or SMS text message notification. In addition, when a new game is added to the schedule or a game is removed from the schedule, canceled, or postponed, you will also receive a notification

In order to receive notifications, you must have a user account on the web site. Simply choose the organization you are associated with and then choose the teams you want to follow (up to 5). You can then choose the types of notifications you would like to receive. Please make sure you enter a valid email address and if you want to receive SMS text message notifications that you enter a valid phone number including area code

A quick note about game statuses. A game starts out as "scheduled" and then when the game has been completed it will change to "completed" or "forfeited" if one of the teams does not show up. If one of the teams cannot make the scheduled game but the game will be rescheduled, it will be placed in "postponed" status. If the location or time of a game is changed, the status of the game will be changed to "rescheduled".

NFHS Concussion Training

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionPDF versionPDF version

ALL HEAD COACHES AND ASSISTANT COACHES must complete the NFHS Concussion Training course before their first game. As a head coach, after you have completed the free, on-line training course on the NFHS web site, you can edit your coach account (after it has been created for you) on the GCCYS web site and specify the course completion date. This training is valid for up to 3 years upon completion of the course so if you have already completed the course in the past 3 years, you should simply enter your course completion date. In order to take the course, you must first register yourself and create an account on the NFHS web site. You will then be able to take the course.

Please note that it is the obligation of the parish/school to make sure everyone for their program is trained and in compliance with the Ohio state law.
