WNBA teams hold WNBA Be Smart-Be Fit-Be Yourself fitness clinics and workshops featuring top players, coaches and team and league executives throughout the season. Teams host various community events in celebration of the start of the WNBA’s season and in recognition of the league’s strong and ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of its fans and their communities.

“As the world’s leading women’s sports league, we believe it is our responsibility to do all that we can to emphasize the importance of health and fitness for women and young people,” said WNBA President Donna Orender. “In this effort, we recognize that our players are the ideal individuals to carry this message and encourage fans to make physical fitness a regular part of their lives. And, the benefits go far beyond physical health to include self-esteem and an overall positive self image.”
