Facilities

• The Grove City Parks and Recreation youth volleyball and basketball leagues utilize SWCSD facilities for practices and games. The league will adhere to district guidelines for building visitors including those intended to promote community health.
• Please respect SWCSD property. No participants or family members/fans should enter other areas of the building, use tobacco/vaping pens or alcohol, cause damage or otherwise abuse the privilege of using the facilities, as this can lead to the loss of access to facilities and impact the department’s ability to offer basketball and volleyball programs.
