the NatioNal JuNior BasKetBall historYThe National Junior Basketball League is a non-profit organization. NJB was formed by Dennis murphy Jr., a former coach at Garden Grove High School. coach murphy had a vision of young girls and boys, from the K through 12 grades, and their families being involved in organized youth basketball.

National Junior Basketball is growing! Already in place in 10 states, NJB is moving ahead with plans to establish chapters in at least four more states in the near future. NJB President Dennis murphy, Jr. isn’t content with just 200 cities with franchises. He and other NJB executives have been on the road in california visiting 16 cities in the past few months, and will visit many more soon.

NJB is gaining popularity and participation. Growth is documented at about 8% per year, and NJB will soon rank with little league and Pop Warner, and our National Headquarters could rival the impact of Williamsport, Pennsylvania (home of little league).

High School Varsity basketball coaches are encouraging NJB programs in local communities. Some have gone so far as to set up clinics to provide NJB basketball instruction, a free basketball and in assisting parents to form a board of Directors and fill local positions.

The purpose of this expansion is to bring an organized youth basketball program to the core of cities that have long been ignored by other youth sport-ing activities. NJB is proud of it’s ability to transcend socio-economic barriers and appeal to people of all races, creeds, income brackets, and social stand-ings.

expansion of NJB into many new cities is a top priority with the goal of becoming a truly NATIONAL organization.

Send your request to NJB Headquarters and we will issue a letter of authorization if applicable. The authorization letter should be taken to the bank when opening your account. A copy of this letter must be kept in your chapter files.

24.2 Prior to the beginning of each winter season, the chapter's treasurer along with the assistance of the chapter Board of Directors should prepare a proposed budget for the upcoming year. the budget needs to be approved by the voting members of the board for your chapter. this should be used as a guideline for your expenditures for that year and should be reviewed on a regular basis.

24.3 When opening the chapter bank account there muSt be at least two signatures required to withdraw funds from the account. the two signers cannot be related. there are No exceptions to this policy. leagues are not allowed to use the NJB corporate tax ID number on their bank accounts. each chapter should have their own employer Identification Number (eIN). If your league does not have one, you may obtain one by filling out an SS-4 form with the IRS (call 1-800-829-3676 to request forms).

your leagues eIN number should be used on all bank accounts, IRS and State correspondence. Do not use the NJB corporate tax ID number for these purposes.

24.4 All copies of bank statements and canceled checks must be retained. Headquarters has the right to request and receive copies in the event that there is any questionable financial activity. Failure to provide copies on demand could result in your chapter's NJB sanction being revoked and legal and/or law enforcement agencies called in as seen necessary.

24.5 All funds received must be deposited within five (5) working days of the receipt of funds. Deposited funds must be recorded in a comprehensive breakdown as to amount, received cash or check, received by. this breakdown must be kept with the bank ledger in the chapter files.

24.6 It is mandatory that All receipts, billings and statements be kept in the chapter file. No check should be issued without a copy of the receipt or billing.

24.7 checks should never be made out to cash. If in the rare event that a check is made for cash, you must have a breakdown kept in the chapter file as to how the cash was distributed (such as funds for start up cash for snack bar) and have the distribution signed by two authorized board members. It is in your chapter's best interest to avoid ANy cash payments and to always retain receipts and records.

24.8 under No circumstances should there be any co-mingling of funds. Do not use any personal accounts to receive or disburse any league funds. NJB Headquarters reserves the right to remove any chapter members at any time.

24.9 All chapter positions are volunteer position. No chapter members shall be paid for any work done (with the exception of referees being paid for games worked). legitimate reimbursement for out of pocket expenses should only be done on the approval of the board. At each board meeting the financial status of the chapter should be reviewed. Reimbursement must only be in the nature of a direct benefit to your chapter such as; copies made of flyers that were paid out of pocket, snack bar stock, payment to score keeper, etc. these reimbursements should be rare exceptions. It is always better that a check from the league be obtained first to directly pay for the expense. All requested reimbursement be accompanied by a receipt and kept in the chapter file.

24.10 For any contract services/labor, at the end of the calendar year, 1099 forms shall be completed for anyone receiving more than $600.00.

24.11 If a chapter receives $200.00 or more from one sponsor, the IRS requires that the sponsor receive a receipt from the chapter.

Income and expenses need to be properly documented. Records must indicate cash or checks received and any cash paid out (with copies of receipts). All records must be kept for a period of seven (7) years (IRS rule).

Document all pay outs to scorekeepers, referees, court directors, from the gate receipts.

Section 25 - financiaL rePortinG

It is each chapter’s responsibility to do the approprate filings. NJB Headquarters is not responsible for filing for each chapter. Copies of your filings must be sent to NJB Head-quarters within 30 days of your chapter’s filings. By July 31st, your chapter is required to file a financial statement (use the form provided in this book) to NJB Headquarters.

the Board shall assure that when a new treasurer is appointed that all past and current records be turned over promptly to the new treasurer. Any misuse of funds for personal use could be cause for dismissal and possible criminal and/or civil prosecution for mishandling of funds. Al-ways remember that these funds are held in trust by your chapter for the exclusive benefit for your players. If your chapter is audited it will be held solely responsible for the proper and docu-mented use of all your chapter funds. If there are any questions, please consult NJB Headquar-ters.

the 990 IRS form will ask for a GeN number (Group exemption Number). NJB’s GeN number is 4164. This number ties your chapter to NJB Headquarters, establishing you as a recognized subordinate under our Non-Profit Status 501c3 designation. If your chapter is incorporated, you should not use our GEN number when filing taxes. Check with your tax preparer.

To ensure your ongoing tax exempt status, below is the type of 990 to be filed based on your chapter’s annual gross receipts and total assets. Filing deadline is December 15 of each year to the IRS. Remember your fiscal year ends July 31st each year.

Which form an organization must file generally depends on its financial activity, as indicated in the chart below:

Status Form to FileGross receipts normally ≤ $50,000Note: Organizations eligible to file the e-Postcard may choose to file a full return

990-N

Gross receipts < $200,000, and Total assets < $500,000

990-EZ or 990

Gross receipts ≥ $200,000, orTotal assets ≥ $500,000

990

Private foundation - regardless of financial status 990-PF

Also, if an incorporated chapter ceases to operate, the chapter will need to file the proper form to dissolve the corporation so that the IRS will not expect a tax return.

You may be required to file Form 199 with the State of California on or before the 15th day of the 5th month after the close of your accounting period. Please refer to www.ftb.ca.gov for filing requirement. If your entity is required to file form 199, leave CA corporation number blank if your entity has never been assigned one by the state.

Letter to the coach

Dear coach,

I just read your letter to my child of your expecta-tions for athletes under your guidance. We couldn’t agree more as we have long recognized the values deriving from youth sports.Judging from your record, you must teach the game very well.

there is another phase of coaching. coach, we are giving you our most prized possession to coach for sev-eral months. During that time our child will make you one of our prime household conversations. We will hear how you could have made the Pros, if only you hadn’t hurt your knee. We’ll hear about how you can still shoot the ball and play tough defense. When we are hearing all this talk our child’s eyes will shine. You see, you are idolized.

many professional athletes will sell their souls for a buck it seems. Some college athletes made the news this year in a very negative manner. We know all college ath-letes don’t shoplift, etc., but that is what we hear about. you are our child’s hero. We are relying on you. their mind is still fragile and so impressionable. your re-sponsibilities are great. Impress him, coach and keep it fun!

bUiLd me a chiLd General Douglas A. macArthur

Build me a child, o lord, who will be strong enough to know when they are weak and brave enough to face them-selves when they are afraid; one who will be proud and un-bending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

lead them, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. let them learn to stand up in the storm; learn compassion for those who fall.

Build me a child whose heart will be clear, whose goals will be high; a child who will master themselves before they seek to master others; one who will learn to laugh, yet nev-er forget the past.

And after all these things, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that they may always be serious, yet never take themselves too seriously. Give them humility, so that they may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. then I will dare to whisper, “I have not lived in vain.”

to mY Grown-UP chiLdmy hands were busy through the day;I didn’t have much time to playthe little games you asked me to - I didn’t have much time for you.“A little later.”

I’d tuck you in all safe at night,And hear your prayers, turn out the light,then tip-toe softly to the door...I wish I’d stayed a minute more.

For life is short, the years rush past...A little child grows up so fast.No longer at your side,Their precious secrets to confide.the picture books are put away;there are no longer games to play.No good-night kiss, no prayers to hear - that all belongs to yesteryear.

my hands, once busy, now are still.The days are long and hard to fill.I wish I could go back and dothe little things you asked me to.
