The Aces new 64,000 square foot practice and training facility is the first of it’s kind to be built solely for a WNBA team. It features two basketball courts, a locker room with individual vanities for each player, a TV and Mac mini console at each players’ locker and an 85 inch screen TV in the locker room, a weight room and training area with hot and cold plunge pools, an infrared sauna, cryotherapy and a nutrition bar.

As the Aces prepare to defend their WNBA title the team has welcomed some new players during the offseason including perennial WBNA all star and two time champion Candace Parker who signed with the team in free agency and two time WNBA champion Alysha Clark.
Aces head coach Becky Hammon will be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial NBA Hall of Fame in August and her name has been mentioned in connection with the NBA’s Toronto Raptors head coaching opening.
