New FSM Essential Feature: WNBA Legend and PAL Team To Advance Growth of Women’s Basketball

FSM’s Zeke Trezevant with more on Rushia Brown’s partnership with the National Police Athletic League in efforts to grow women’s basketball.

Rushia Brown played seven seasons in the WNBA.

WNBA Legend Rushia Brown, President of SerVcom, has announced a partnership with the National PAL to advance the growth of women’s basketball and empower young girls in sports.

This partnership will provide FREE basketball clinics nationwide for girls ages 8-16. These clinics will allow young ladies to receive elite training and empowerment from former WNBA players.

Specifically, the clinics will include two hours of on-the-court training and two 30-minute sessions on social-emotional learning.

“As a former professional basketball player in the WNBA and internationally, I know how important it is to provide opportunities for young girls interested in basketball,” Rushia Brown said. “Getting to meet former WNBA players, training with them, and learning their journeys will allow them to create a road map to their own dreams.”

The participants in current WNBA cities will be given the opportunity to attend a game with their families and interact with a current WNBA player. The cities/teams on the calendar are Las Vegas (Aces), New York (Liberty), Dallas (Wings), Atlanta (Dream), Los Angeles (Sparks), Washington (Mystics), Chicago (Sky), and Phoenix (Mercury).

The former WNBA cities to host FREE clinics are Miami and Cleveland. The Cleveland event will be hosted during NCAA Women’s Final Four 2024.

If you are interested in attending the clinic, the Las Vegas clinic is taking place at The Mirabelli Community Center which is located at 6200 Hargrove Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89107

The dates for each city are as follows:

Las Vegas – July 11th

New York – July 18th

Atlanta – July 25th

Dallas – July 28th

Washington, D.C. – August 6th

Chicago – August 8th

Phoenix – August 20th

Miami – September 24th

Cleveland – April 6th, 2024

The goal of player engagement is to further the reach of the WNBA to future fans and players.
