My family and I went to a WNBA game and had a fab time!

I highly recommend girls (and boys) of all ages attend a WNBA game. The games are reasonably priced and a great place for families to have a fun time.

During the game, the WNBA paid tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy, who we lost last week after a long battle with brain cancer. He was instrumental in developing Title IX law, which helped to ensure equality for women/girls in sports and in the classroom.

The WNBA presented a touching dedication and it made me realize that many girls would not have opportunities to excel without sports. It's often the first place where we learn about teamwork, leadership, winning and losing.  The basketball game reminded me of all the women that have been able to live their passion by coaching and playing sports.

It's important for all of us to support women's sports and to keep ourselves healthy by participating in sports. If you're thinking, "I'm not good at sports," you don't need to be the next Venus or Serena to participate.  You can do it for fun!  I was on the volleyball and track team in high school and as an adult, I earned a black belt in my study of tae kwon do.  You can start off by walking with friends. It's free and everyone will have a good time!
