NOVA United Senior Women's Basketball

With their ticket purchase, the NOVA United group qualified for a halftime basketball game on the Washington Mystics' home court. The group of over twenty women played in two simultaneous half-court games lasting five minutes. Below are quotes from some of the NOVA United players about their group outing and unforgettable experience with the Washington Mystics:

Helen (age 54): "Thanks for inviting the NOVA United Senior Women basketball players to play during the half time of a Mystics game. As pioneers of the game, we are honored to be able to demonstrate to Mystics fans that not only do we love the game but we can still play. The Mystics staff was fabulous - they treated us like celebrities."

Gwen (age 53): "The feel of the hardwood under my feet, the bright lights, and the roar of the crowd made my heart race! Thanks [to the Mystics] for the privilege!"

Jackie (age 70): "What an awesome experience! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our love for basketball with others in such a large way."

Jeanni (age 71): "A night to remember - a wonderfully [Mystics-filled], magical night - an experience beyond my fondest dreams and expectations ... a night that can never be repeated ...!"
