Previewing This Weekend 🏀

The Firebirds have two exciting games this weekend to round out our regular season! While the regular season doesn’t end for us this weekend, these are our last two home games before the playoffs. Let’s make sure to pack the nest and give our players the support and fans they deserve!
Saturday, May 17th: First Responders Night
For Saturday’s game, we’ll celebrate all the first responders who serve our local community. They have incredibly important jobs and save many lives every day. At this game, we’ll recognize all first responders and honor them the way they deserve.
Sunday, May 18th: End of Season Party
This is our last home game of the season, and we want to go out with a bang! The last home game is always our end-of-season party, where we invite everyone who’s attended all of our games this season back out for a day of fun. We celebrate the success we’ve had, and hype up our team as they head into the playoffs to claim that coveted Lillie.

Partner Spotlight: BK Pilates 🧘

Today, we’re giving a huge shoutout to our partner, BK Pilates. BK Pilates in Raleigh receives many positive reviews, particularly praising the instructors and studio atmosphere. Many reviewers appreciate the challenging yet accessible classes, the clean and well-maintained studio, and the supportive, welcoming environment. The studio’s founder, Marina Kaydanova, is also frequently mentioned for her clear and helpful instruction.
The Firebirds could not agree more with all the things said above! Our players have recently started attending classes at BK Pilates, and they’ve been very beneficial. While they’re challenging, they help strengthen our players mentally and physically.
Make sure to follow BK Pilates on Instagram (@bkpilatesrdu), and check out their table this weekend at the games!

Merch Store Finally Open! 🥳

Have you been waiting for ages to get yourself some Raleigh Firebirds merchandise? Well, that wait is finally over! We’ve partnered with Wooter—The Basketball League’s official uniform and apparel partner—to make some Firebirds merch for our fans. Check it out by clicking on this link.
Important note! While this store is the hub to get your Firebirds gear, it’s still in its infancy. More menu items will be coming soon, so if you don’t see your favorite article of clothing, don’t fret. It’ll be here before you know it. In the meantime, enjoy the display and order yourself an official Raleigh Firebirds team jersey!

Make sure to stay tuned for Friday’s edition!
Until then,
