SWISH is a recreational basketball league for girls and young women in Santa Cruz County, California. The league operates from mid March through early June. We have been in existence since 1997, and serve 200 girls each year.
SWISH is a 503(c) non-profit organization run by volunteers.
The SWISH mission:
“To create an organized basketball league for girls, led by women, and played in an environment where learning the strategy and skills of basketball are emphasized in balance with competition and sportsmanship.”
During the 10-week season, the coaches work to build up the athletic skills as well as the leadership and sportsmanship of the girls and young women of SWISH—all through the fun and exciting sport of basketball!
We are parents and community members who want to make a difference for our daughters and young women in our community through the game of basketball. We believe there is more to the game of basketball than just winning. Meeting new friends, learning to work as a team, building self-confidence, and leadership skills by motivating the team and eventually contributing back to the community by volunteering as a coach and passing on a positive experience for the younger players through our mentoring program.
