Dakota Swish!

The Dakota Swish program was created in 2001 and consisted of only one 4th grade team. In 2002 the program expanded to include grades 3 - 6. In 2004 the program expanded again to include the Tiny Tots which are players 5 to 7 years old. In 2007 the program was extended to junior and high school students during the spring and summer months.

With the help of our great coaching staff, the players get hands-on instruction on the fundamentals of the game such as ball handling, passing, shooting, free throws, defense, and sportsmanship. With this combination of skills, they are UNSTOPPABLE in the Tri-State Area and able to compete at the highest level! The Dakota Swish practice and play all home games in the Dakota Center gymnasium.
