Atlanta Dream to Host 20 Free PowerHerDreams Girls’ Basketball Clinics Across Metro Atlanta During the 2026 WNBA Season

ATLANTA (April 30, 2026) - Throughout the 2026 WNBA season, the Atlanta Dream will host 20 free, all-girls basketball clinics across metro Atlanta, with the goal of impacting at least 1,500 girls. These clinics underscore the Dream’s commitment to community impact and its pillars of growing the game and empowering girls and women through sport. 

The Power Her Dreams clinics will combine high-quality basketball skill development with real-life empowerment tools, helping participants build confidence, courage, and a strong sense of community. Girls ages 6-14 can participate in these clinics, where they will learn both basketball fundamentals and the importance of confidence and leadership skills. 

“Our mission is to grow the game of basketball while empowering girls to be leaders, on and off the court,” said Aisha Greenlee, Atlanta Dream director of community impact.  

Each clinic will include a welcome and warm up session, skills stations, team scrimmages or competition games (by skill level), and empowerment moments. On the court, participants will be led by Atlanta Dream-trained youth coaches, focusing on technique, agility and game IQ. The empowerment moments will focus on building confidence, courage, and community. The Dream is committed to continuing to break barriers and provide opportunities for young girls in sports.   

The Dream will partner with the Bria Janelle Foundation for one of the clinics.  Clinic dates and locations are as follows:
