Greetings to all! This fall the GBYSL has contracted Wallace Photography to provide outstanding team photo plaques to the head coaches as a free thank-you for for time and skill as GBYSL coaches. We anticipate shooting these on Oct 4 and Oct 11 with photographes also present the week days Oct 7-10 to make sure we get everybody shot.

Once again GBYSL has arranged for U14 and below players to attend the game FREE.  You need to wear your jersey and show a GBYSL ID card, we will work on the cards for you.  NCAA rules are VERY strict and only the U14 and below player can attend at no charge, there is NO exceptions to the rule.  Parents, the University must enforce these rules.  We will also be hosting the halftime games, each game we will have several teams participating in a 5 minute scrimmage.

Welcome to the new Great Basin Youth Soccer League website.  Please take a moment and visit all we have to offer.  GBYSL is the largest youth soccer league in Northern Nevada with a recreational and competitive division.  Our Sierra divison is recreational with ages starting at U5 through U14.  Our competitive division starts at U10 and runs through U19.  We focus on kids having fun while learning the great sport of soccer.  We recently had 2 teams compete in the USYSA Region IV finals, U15 Boys Twisters and U17 Girls Reno Black.  If you have any questions about your children playing, becoming a coach, referee or volunteer please e mail us.  Thank you and GO SOCCER

Reminder, all coaches, team officials and team representatives must complete their background check.  The schedule is on the state website.  www.usysnv.net.  If you are not scheduled until later this year don't worry about it until the month are are scheduled, if you are on the attached list please complete your background check.  Failure to do so will block your name from being entered as a coach for your team.  We have no control over this, the state is mandating the check along with Region IV and National.  The cost is $6 and is good for 2 years.  Teachers, law enforcements officers, public employees,  scout leaders, referee's and anyone else I might have forgotten are still requirred to complete the background check.  There are no are exclusions.
