Ballet Arts Centre of Winchester was founded in 1990 with the goal of offering the Winchester area a unique, quality program of dance designed to meet the needs of a wide range of students of varying ages and levels. In the years since, the school has become an established and integral part of the community and is recognized as one of the area’s leading schools for quality dance training. In 1999 BAC performed its first "Nutcracker" ballet which continues still as a bi-annual performance, giving students of all ages the opportunity to audition and perform in a professional production.

While we support Swim Winchester’s quest to build a community pool, there are other site alternatives that do not take away from open space. The Friends & Neighbors of Skillings Field group feels that it would be counterproductive and costly to taxpayers to take a much-needed and newly rejuvenated field away from our student and other athletes.

We believe that recreation is a core element of community vibrancy and is essential to the well-being of individuals. In order to fully achieve that status, the quality of recreation facilities is of paramount importance.  When you support the Friends of Winchester Recreation, you help ensure the continuation of quality recreational programming, facilities, and equipment in our community.

We are a grassroots, non-profit 501(c)(3) group formed in 2014 to build a Winchester community aquatic center as a public-private partnership on Town land, with a privately-funded capital campaign and self-sustaining operations.

The Winchester Basketball Association (WBA) was established to provide opportunities for children in grades 3 through 11 to learn the fundamentals of basketball, while having fun. At the 5th through 8th grade levels, travel teams from the WBA compete in the MetroWest LLC league, which is made up of similar youth basketball organizations throughout Eastern Massachusetts. In grades 3 through 5, WBA players participate in local instructional clinics.

We're a group of women and men of all ages, speeds and goals who like to run. Some of us race. Some don't. Some run a little. Some run a lot. The most important thing is that we all have a good time! Our schedule includes a balance of easy and harder training: social runs, track and hill intervals, tempo runs and long runs. If you are a morning runner -- or have always wanted to be — come Join Us For A Run!

The Winchester Recreation Dept is proud to provide the Town of Winchester with our activity registration system and website.

• Provides an equal opportunity for all players to develop skills to whatever level they are capable and willing.

The Winchester Sports Foundation was organized in 1989 by a group of Winchester parents and sports enthusiasts as a result of severe budget cuts to the Winchester High School’s athletic budget. That year the athletic budget faced a $60,000 deficit and the high school considered instituting a $35 per student “sports and transportation fee.” Today, appropriate funding of the high school athletic programs continues to be a significant challenge.
