In 2008, the Mystics forged a partnership with DC Parks and Recreation and the Greater Washington Sports Alliance to establish the Mystics Youth Summer League (MYSL). The youth summer league features 27 teams consisting of nearly 600 adolescent girls, ages 10 to 18 years old. The various age groups compete at DC Recreation centers throughout the city with the Championship game held at the Verizon Center on the main basketball floor where the Washington Mystics, Washington Wizards, and Georgetown Hoyas play.
