The WJBL regrets to announce the death of Richard Hennelly, a long serving Board member.  Dick was one of a handful of members who transformed the league from a program of 80 players to today's WJBL with over 600 players.
Dick worked tirelessly to improve the league and always cheered for the underdog.  In his honor, the WJBL had renamed the 4-5th grade league the Hennelly Division. We will miss him dearly.

The WJBL is looking for a volunteer or team of volunteers (age 16 or over) to design and shoot a video on the WJBL  2011 season for Weymouth Community Access – Channel 10.  Three training classes are required to learn to use the equipment.  WJBL Board members will work with the volunteer as needed.  No prior experience is required.   This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill with professional video equipment.  Parents or guardians must sign for equipment use for volunteers under 18 years of age.  Interested persons should send an e-mail to weymouthjbl@yahoo.com stating your full name, your telephone number, your experience, if any, and your ideas for the video.   The Board hopes to make a selection prior to Thanksgiving.
