​

Who is this opportunity for?
 

• Players that are serious about getting better and are willing to work hard.

• Players that are humble and know they have more questions than answers.

• Players that want to be coached and told the truth when it's given for their best interest.

• Players that truly want to learn the game.

• Families that want something different than the ugliness that typically surrounds youth and travel sports.

• Parents who understand their role and are content to play that role and not one of the other three (coach, referee, player).

​​

How do you know if you should pass this opportunity up?
 

• Players who aren't serious about the game but just want something fun to do.

• Players who do spring basketball just because their parents want them to stay busy and in shape.

• Parents who want to coach from the stands and distract their daughters during games.

• Parents who fail to understand how difficult it is to officiate and why we're losing officials at a rapid pace. (You'll never see me chew out referees!)

• Parents who feel their daughter is a gift to the organization and should be the star of the team. We teach and play true team basketball - The Beautiful Game!

 

Our primary focus has been and will continue to be on skill development with an emphasis on offensive skills including ball and decision making skills. We don't spend our time teaching plays and presses to make the organization look strong. We teach them how to play the game.

​

For those who are not ready for this level of play but would be interested in our girls only training groups, please see our Swish Girls Basketball page. 

 

We're looking forward to an exciting 2025 spring season.
