Attention Middle School Girls Basketball Players!!
Open gyms are a great way to stay in shape and get reps in! 💜🏀 Athletes get better during the off season!

🏀 ATTENTION ALL SWANTON LADY BULLDOGS! 🏀

Are you in grades 7th–12th and interested in playing basketball for the upcoming season? Whether you played last year, played in the past, or want to try it out for the very first time, we want to see you on the court!

We are hosting Open Gym Skill Work sessions for the rest of June and early July. Come out, meet the coaches (Coach Michalkiewicz, Coach O'Shea, and Coach Hollenbaugh).

I am honored and excited to introduce myself, Garrett Michalkiewicz, as the new Head Coach of the Swanton High School Girls Basketball program.

I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to getting started building a program that our players, school, and community can be proud of—one that is respected both on and off the court. I can't wait to get to work and continue building something special for Bulldog basketball.

Please use this page to continue to stay up to date on all things Swanton Girls Basketball. Watch for updates, I am currently working on getting dates and times together for open gyms and skills work for the rest of the month of June!
