GOOD Hoops FALL Classic Recap:

This past weekend in St. Albert, 5 Swan Fall Teams participated in the GOOD Hoops FALL Classic

Congratulations to HSB LaCroix on going 4-0 and capturing Gold in the U18 Boys - Silver Division. The boys have been a juggernaut this fall and their high tempo style of play has been difficult for opponents to match.

Congratulations as well to U15G Duncan for going 4-0 and taking Gold in the U15G - Bronze Division. These girls battled.

Another Congratulations to U13G Duncan for taking home Silver in the U13 Division.

HSG Gravengard came away with 5th in the U18 Silver Division.

FALL Programs Update:

Thank you for the terrific response to our program options!

We have received a few messages regarding the EYPL (Edmonton Youth Premier League) so here is some additional information and a link in the comments.

The EYPL gives select Swan City teams (U13-U15) the opportunity to train, learn and compete in Edmonton over the Fall. 4 Sessions in Edmonton will be led by Edmonton College coaches followed by gameplay. Swan City players will learn and compete as a team. The League culminates with a Championship Weekend (instruction and games will be held at EYBA and Legacy Athletics).

The league will wrap up prior to school basketball getting underway.

We are very excited about this opportunity to learn and compete in Edmonton while developing the talent in the Peace Region!
