Who We Are?

Our league, founded in 1970, organizes leagues for girls' volleyball, basketball, and softball.

There are 18 member parishes from the west side of Cincinnati and three affiliate members.

The Girls Western Athletic Conference (GWAC) provides a fun, competitive environment where young ladies can develop both fundamental and advanced skills. Because we offer multiple levels of competition, we strive to ensure every athlete finds a place where she feels comfortable and confident playing alongside her peers.
