IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE: (WOMEN’S SPORTS)

United States Women’s Basketball League to Launch in 2005

CONTACT: Cheryl "StillStanding" Fields, MBA, President/Founder, (913)-906-9496, emporia962000@yahoo.com

As the top teams in women’s college basketball go about the business of crowning a national champion, Kansas City sports entrepreneur Cheryl Fields is preparing a place for some of the participants to play after college.

Fields has formed the United States Women’s Basketball League, which will be beginning play in October of 2005. She hopes to have 30 teams licensed for a season that will run from October through March. Exhibition games shall be played in October 2004.

Fields expects the rosters to be filled with players who were overlooked in the WNBA draft, or decided not to pursue a WNBA career for family or business reasons. “We feel there is a deep pool of talent out there,” she said. “Women’s basketball is continuing to grow across the country and the caliber of play is continuing to improve. We’re hoping that some of these players will one day move on from our league to the WNBA.”

Fields, who is the owner of the Kansas City Krunch of the National Women’s Football Association, is seeking owners for league franchises in various cities around the country. By keeping the cost of an initial investment to a minimum, she is hoping to attract non-traditional owners to the league and encourage interested individuals to start their own businesses.

“We are encouraging and promoting diversity,” Fields said. “We encourage any interested individuals to contact us, regardless of their race, religion, gender, or sexual preference. We want to reach out to women and minorities who may not have had the opportunity to run their own business before now.” There is an owner’s meeting 22-24 June 2004, in Kansas City, for all owners/prospective owners.

Prospective players and team owners interested in learning more about the USWBL should contact Fields at (913)-906-9496, by e-mail at emporia962000@yahoo.com or http://www.kansascitykrunch.com, or http://www.unitedstateswomensbasketballleague.com (under construction).
