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.

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:
- Seeding and bracket assignment were done mostly by winning percentage. These are based on regular season results that were reported as of 9pm on Sunday, October 6th. Any scores reported or changed after that time may NOT taken into consideration.
- Forfeits wins/losses are generally not taken into consideration when seeding as they don't provide helpful information to determine strength of a team.
- Some seeds were slightly altered to avoid intra-parish matchups or first round matchups between teams in the same zone (for 3rd-4th grades)
- Teams should pay the referee in the same way they do during the regular season.
- Coordinators, please check your gym schedule. Some changes have been made since the preliminary gym assignments were shared last week.
- All Sunday games are championship matches. Parishes hosting those games should plan on picking up trophies at All Saints starting on Thursday of tournament week.
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.
