ESPN is giving basketball fans a behind-the-scenes look at history in the making! Setting the Tempo, a new four-part original series debuts September 20th and is already generating buzz..

The series follows the creation and launch of the Toronto Tempo, Canada’s first WNBA franchise, and takes viewers inside the fast-paced process of building a professional basketball team from scratch.

Inside the Toronto Tempo

Setting the Tempo follows the team as its leadership makes major decisions about everything from players and basketball operations to the culture they want to establish.

The Tempo is led by all-woman powerhouses, including president Teresa Resch, head coach Sandy Brondello, and general manager Monica Wright Rogers.

Fans will also meet members of the inaugural roster, including Marina Mabrey, Brittney “Slim” Sykes, Kia Nurse and Kiki Rice.

“What makes Setting the Tempo so special is that it captures a moment when so much of what the Toronto Tempo would become still existed only as an idea,” Resch said.
