Valkyries players began media day by addressing Ballhalla with a "X takeover" as they anticipate reuniting with their passionate fanbase in the home opener on May 10. 

They then rotated through various stations in which they modeled the different jerseys they’ll wear throughout the season, answered a variety of questions for social content and glammed up with Sephora. There were plenty of smiles and laughs ringing throughout the Oakland practice facility.
