About Us

Spurred by the demand for new community-based basketball, volleyball and gymnastics facilities in Greater Edmonton, the Edmonton Grads Basketball Centre, Ortona Gymnastics Club and the Edmonton Volleyball Centre Society have formed a unique partnership to build and operate a non-profit facility called the GO Community Centre. When complete, this multi-use facility will be a premier Canadian wellness centre.

The GO Community Centre will be located in south Edmonton. This 220,000 square foot facility will accommodate needs that exist in the basketball, volleyball and gymnastics communities. It will also be an affordable place welcoming all Edmontonians.

Why GO?

The three organizations will address the need:

for appropriate and affordable gymnasium space with a focus on basketball, gymnastics and volleyball;
for accessible gymnasium space for practice, game times and tournaments for community-based youth/adult basketball and volleyball programs;
to replace the aging facility used by the Ortona Gymnastics Club thereby improving program opportunities;
for a home facility to effectively market and coordinate volleyball and basketball in the Greater Edmonton Region;
to increase opportunities for all Edmontonians to experience and enjoy involvement in sports to the extent of their abilities and interests; and,
to create a space to honour and preserve the rich memory of the Edmonton Grads Basketball Team and the long history of the Ortona Gymnastics Club.
