WNBA’s 'Nationwide' Announcement on Monday Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Women’s basketball has reached new heights over the past few years, led by the emergence of young stars like Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark. Television ratings, attendance, and jersey sales are all up compared to years past.

In response, the WNBA has taken notice and is doing what it can to capitalize on the momentum.

On Monday, the WNBA announced a new initiative called "Line 'Em Up" to add the WNBA three-point line to park courts across the country.

"The WNBA today launched "Line 'Em Up," a nationwide initiative aimed at bringing the women's professional game closer to communities by painting the official WNBA 3-point line on park basketball courts across the country," the league wrote. "As part of the program, the WNBA will also be making donations to participating park courts."

The WNBA's goal is to "inspire girls and women" not to be shy and "bring their games to the park." By doing so, the women's game will continue to grow.

"Designed to foster more inclusive spaces and inspire girls and women to bring their games to the park, the campaign highlights the league's deep commitment to building community, visibility, and representation in public spaces," the league added.
