WBA Seeks new Treasurer
The Winchester Basketball Association (WBA) has an opening for a volunteer to serve as treasurer. Candidates should be willing to commit to the position for a minimum of 3-4 years.
Please see the description of the treasurer's duties and a transition plan below:
WBA Treasurer
Job Description: The WBA Treasurer manages deposits, writes checks, reconciles monthly bank statements, submits an annual financial report, and coordinates annual tax preparation tasks with the WBA's accounting firm, including submission of documents in connection with the filing of tax returns to the IRS and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The WBA uses Quickbooks, but no prior knowledge is required.
The time commitment is approximately five (5) hours per month during the fall (Oct-Nov) in preparation for the travel basketball season. In addition, the treasurer should expect approximately two (2) hours of work per month during the WBA's (i) winter travel basketball season (Dec-Feb), (ii) summer clinic (June), and (iii) preparation of the annual financial report (fiscal year end is August 31st).
Finally, in order to ensure an effective transition, the WBA's current treasurer will continue to serve through the end of the 2026 fiscal year (ends August 2026). As a result, he will work with the next treasurer for at least a year to complete an orderly hand-off of all duties and responsibilities.
Interested candidates should send an email to WBA Treasurer Position no later than June 20, 2025.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,

Important Announcement
WBA Families - During recent years, there have been a growing number of unacceptable and harmful incidents perpetrated by fans and coaches during youth sports events. Many of you have seen the worst of these incidents on the news and, perhaps, in person.
The consequences of such behaviors too often stretch beyond a moment in time. Given the fact that young children are frequently witnesses to such behaviors, the lasting harm done to their social, emotional and psychological development is a major concern. Simply put, adults must model and reinforce positive behaviors at youth sports events.
In an effort to respond to a worsening of such behaviors, the Metrowest League has prepared a brief video that outlines the problems experienced in recent years as well as the policies that have been put in place to guide behavior by spectators. Take five minutes to watch this video with your player(s):
Finally, parents/guardians previously signed the WBA's Waiver, Release & Rules of Conduct, and Parent Guidelines when registering their child for basketball. Among other things, the WBA's Waiver document sets forth a "no tolerance" policy for misbehavior by spectators, players, and coaches.
