"This has been a major initiative for us over the last 18 months,” said WBCA Chief Executive Officer Beth Bass. “I cannot stress enough just how excited I am - and the whole WBCA family is - about launching CWB Online. We are always trying to find ways to better serve our members and with this tool, we will be able to supply them with most real-time information possible.”

The WBCA will now publish 12 online issues and three hard copies annually. The combined 15 editions of CWB total seven more issues than the eight previously published by the Association each year. The WBCA is pleased to be able to bring this added benefit at no extra cost to its membership of 5,000-plus.

In addition to CWB’s staple content, which includes feature stories, coaching tips, and news & notes, WBCA members will have access to even more information throughout the year, as WBCA.org’s Coaches Corner, Training Room and Resource Center will all be available via CWB Online.

The WBCA will continue to mail its three most popular annual editions of CWB -- Pre-Convention (January/February), Strength & Conditioning (May/June) and Membership (September/October) - to its membership.

CWB debuted in September 1987. Now in its 15th year of publication, CWB remains the only magazine dedicated solely to women’s basketball coaches.

Founded in 1981, the WBCA promotes women’s basketball by unifying coaches at all levels to develop a reputable identity for the sport and to foster and promote the development of the game in all of its aspects as an amateur sport for women and girls.
