President Barack Obama will give a White House welcome to the defending WNBA champion Detroit Shock.

The team will be honored at a Monday ceremony hosted by Obama at the White House.

The Shock won last year's WNBA championship, their third league title in six years.

Before the presidential event, the Shock will host a fitness camp at a Washington community center.

Detroit is 5-9 so far this season. They play the Minnesota Lynx Friday at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
