Life Outside of the Wubble in the Bradenton Area
Eat. Sleep. Train. Basketball.
And then there's off days. Down time in the beautiful, Florida sunshine. Beach days, cross-campus bike rides, golf outings, and excursions to the Gulf Coast's picturesque settings.
Welcome to IMG Academy. Welcome to the Wubble. Welcome to the Bradenton Area.
When they're not competing at Feld Entertainment Studios or practicing on IMG Academy's campus, you can catch the WNBA players snapping pics, dancing away at Legacy Hotel's pool, or even practicing their skills on the golf course with their teammates.
Cue the cameras to sunny Anna Maria Island where the Connecticut Sun truly made themselves at home.
You just can't unsee that scenic blue water - the ideal off-day escape. The Sun weren't the only team who couldn't pass up a day on the beach, however. The Minnesota Lynx settled into their own kayaks and paddled their way to breathtaking Gulf Coast views.
But, the true change of pace has been hitting the range just a short bike or golf cart ride away. Home to IMG Academy's championship course, the Golf Club has offered the league with an ideal option to escape the day-to-day of the Wubble.
The Las Vegas Aces stayed true to their name on this activity. When there's an 18-hole golf course calling your name, you simply can't pass up an opportunity to show off your skills off the court. From the courts to the clubs, these athletes are discovering they might have some seriously natural talent!
The Washington Mystics wanted in on the action as well. Check out their driving range experience through their post below, or click here from some special off-court moments from the WNBA's account.
The constant throughout the 2020 season? Dancing. In the pool, on the course, or really anywhere when the beat is just right.
For the Los Angeles Sparks, they've made themselves quite at home at Legacy Hotel, or "Club Sparks."
And, they're not the only team who's been enjoying the sunshine poolside. From workouts with the Atlanta Dream to team gatherings for the Dallas Wings to unforgettable moments with the Indiana Fever, the amenities at Legacy Hotel have been the go-to for all things relaxation and rejuvenation.
