April 21st Update: All coordinators were sent an email last week with instructions on how to review the schedule for the boys volleyball tournament and confirm their ability to host matches. The review period ends tonight and we will release the tournament schedule mid-week.

Website Upgrade: We will be updating the technology and look and feel of the GCCYS website in May after the boys volleyball season is over. The new website will be live by June 1st. Until that time, please refrain from filling out any liability waivers for the 2025-26 school year as they will not be copied over to the new site. All accounts associated with parish leadership/coordinators will be copied over but anyone else having an account will need to re-establish it. More to come ...

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 Form
This page will contain information about camps/training that are offered by our member organizations or partners.

Camps/Training Page
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 (after logging into their Coach account):
  • Report Scores menu option on the Portals->Coach menu
  • Report Score box in upper right corner of Coach Portal
  • My Team Schedule section of Coach Portal
  • Subscribe to Score Reporting Notifications and receive email with link on game day
  • ALL 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.

    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.  These are based on regular season results that were reported after week five of the regular season finished..  Any scores reported or changed after that time may NOT taken into consideration.
    2. Forfeits wins/losses are generally not taken into consideration when seeding as they don't provide helpful information to determine strength of a team.
    3. Teams should pay the referee in the same way they do during the regular season.
    4. Coordinators, please check your gym schedule.  No changes were made after the review period.
    5. Derrick will be in touch with parishes hosting championship games in regards to trophy pickup.

    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.
