UNMATCHED LEAGUE PARITY - The GHVBL is comprised of teams placed into A & B divisions.  Stressing PARITY, we treat both divisions exactly the same.  As a result, no league in the area produces more 1-3 run games.....  There is an "A" Division Playoff & Champion - and a "B" Division Playoff & Champion..... We also host an ELITE division to create three divisions when appropriate.....

SCHEDULE FLEXIBLITY - GHVBL coaches always create their schedule.  Coaches prepare for and participate in a structured COACHES scheduling meeting where they collaborate and pair up with like teams for single/doubleheader games on a schedule that works for your program. Teams schedule around local recreation leagues, team blackout days, etc - you set YOUR schedule based on YOUR home field availability and your team's availability.  Play on any day of the week, day or night, single or doubleheader games.  Develop your kids at your pace.

ALL TEAMS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS - Regardless of how many teams participate – All will compete for the championship banner and awards in playoff tournaments at the conclusion of the regular season as long as you play the regular season minimum (6 games in Spring/Fall, 8 games in Summer), although you may play as many as you like!  Treat the regular season as a chance to develop more pitching - who knows you may have a diamond in the rough!  The regular season is used for Playoff Seeding only - the Playoff Champion takes home the banner!
