A new chapter for women’s basketball! 📖⁣ ⁣ Zawyer Sports & Entertainment have announced UPSHOT, a new professional women’s basketball league tipping off in May 2026. 🏀⁣ ⁣ The league will feature at least four teams across Savannah, Charlotte, Greensboro, and Jacksonville — where the league’s headquarters will be based. 🙌⁣ ⁣ Former WNBA president Donna Orender will serve as commissioner, bringing decades of leadership and advocacy for women in sports. 🤝⁣ ⁣ Each team will play a 40-game season and wear throwback jerseys honoring trailblazers in women’s basketball. 👀⁣ ⁣ With investors like Cheryl Miller and Ann Meyers Drysdale, UPSHOT aims to become a hub for the women’s game — creating opportunities, community, and visibility for the next generation of players. 💪⁣ ⁣ As Orender put it: “This is a special time — and I would say, it’s about time.” 👏 #thegist⁣ ⁣ #upshot #womenssports #womensbasketball #basketball #upshotleague #sportsbiz
