Unrivaled founder Napheesa Collier makes feelings known on new league's groundbreaking childcare services

Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart's Unrivaled League will tip off its inaugural season with two games on TNT on Friday. Between the fact that the league will provide WNBA players with an opportunity to stay stateside during the WNBA offseason and the 3-on-3 format, the league is prepared to give fans a whole new kind of action.

Behind the scenes, the league is also offering groundbreaking services to players. After Angel Reese praised the facilities the league has provided players in Miami, Napheesa Collier opened up about how the league is supporting moms.

Per Collier, the league is offering moms childcare services through on-site nannies before, during, and after practices and games.

Front Office Sports relayed a quote from Napheesa Collier about the situation, where the WNBA star indicated just how important it was to the league to make sure that moms can focus on the game without worrying about leaving their kids behind or finding childcare services:

“That was really important to us from the beginning to make sure that there was reliable, responsible childcare for people, because we know what it’s like to not have that."

While the league has yet to tip off, players have been boots on the ground in Miami preparing for the inaugural season for several weeks.

During that time, WNBA legend Brittney Griner - who plays for Phantom Basketball Club in the Unrivaled League - felt the league's childcare services showed how much it cared.

Usually, Griner leaves her two kids, Ava Simone and Solei Diem, behind to play international basketball during the WNBA offseason. However, this year, Griner is bringing her kids to Miami, thanks to Unrivaled's childcare services.

FrontOfficeSports relayed a statement from the ten-time WNBA All-Star about the situation, where she was quoted as saying:

“It shows that they care. It’s hard to be away from your kid or trust somebody to watch your kid—that’s the biggest trust you can give somebody. And for them to go out and find the right people where we feel comfortable bringing our kids here, that means a lot to me.”

After Friday's opening night action, which will see Mist BC face off with the Lunar Owls BC and Rose BC collide with Vinyl BC, the league will resume action the following day with games between Phantom BC and Laces BC, as well as a game between the Lunar Owls and Rose BC.
