May 10th Update: Congrats to the boys volleyball tournament winners and runners up and also a huge thank you to Derrick Rahe who has been the league commissioner for boys volleyball since the inception of the GCCYS 10 years ago. Enjoy your "retirement" Derrick! That wraps up the 2024-25 school year for the GCCYS. Next up is girls volleyball, with team registration starting in mid-July. Everyone have a great summer!
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 15th. 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 ...

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.

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 after week five of the regular season finished.. 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.
- Teams should pay the referee in the same way they do during the regular season.
- Coordinators, please check your gym schedule. No changes were made after the review period.
- 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.
