The GWAC serves 20 parishes in the Cincinnati Archdiocese and offers Girls Basketball, Girls Softball, Girls Volleyball.

Referee/Umpire Signups

Our officials play vital roles in our sports programs and their contributions significantly impact the quality of the experiences our athletes have. Sure, it’s a challenging job, but one that – when handled correctly – is enormously enriching and satisfying.

For our upcoming basketball and softball seasons, we are looking to add to our core of officials. If you are interested please contact the coordinators below.

Basketball – Eric Fay - erictfay@live.com
Softball – We are in need of an umpire coordinator. Please contact Jenny Nie if you are interested. jenlou@roadrunner.com.

Dear Coach...

You're making a huge impact in the lives of our children. Help them to become who they were created to be! from Play Like a Champion
