The New Gym - As part of our growth strategy and our philosophy of
"a place for every kid to play", BYC is building a 27,600 s.f. multi-purpose
Gym Facility at Route 1 and Thornton Road in Concord Township. The new gym will have 3
basketball/volleyball courts, wrestling and cheerleading practice space and a snack bar. It will
be used primarily for BYC basketball and other BYC indoor sports programs. During the day, it will
also be made available to other community groups.
The Need - At the present time, our indoor sports programs,
basketball, volleyball, wrestling and competitive cheerleading, with approximately 1,500
participants are totally dependent on allocations of gym usage by the Garnet Valley School
District. We compete for space with school and other community sports and recreational activities.
We have to ration the practice times of our teams because gym demand exceeds gym availability.
We are at risk of having to reduce teams and turn kids away due to space shortages. It is clear
that the gym space shortage will constrain our growth if we do not find or build other indoor gym
space for our teams.
What Can I Do? - We estimate the total cost for this project will
be approximately $1,800,000. Our goal is to raise $1,000,000 through this capital campaign from
our club membership base, the surrounding community and corporate sponsorship. We have many Club
Sponsor levels to meet your needs and desires ranging from $1,000 to $9,000 over a 3-year period.
