About Our Program
The Swarm offers multiple programs for high school girls from 8th-11th grades. Whether
you are interested in just playing year-round, adding advanced skills, or playing in front of hundreds of NCAA coaches (some
single games had 50+) at certified recruiting events, the Swarm
Basketball Club has something for you. High School Out-Of Season play has grown in popularity and importance. Many players
come to the Swarm because they want to make their high-school team, or they want more playing time, and some wish to play
basketball as part of their college experience or try for scholarship. Some just love playing and want to play year-round.
If these are some of your goals, the Swarm has something for you. If you have a team but want more training, we have training
programs and camps to assist players with their individual skills development. So whether you just love to play or want to
showcase your skills at a NCAA certified event, we welcome you to the Swarm Basketball Academy and Club.

Sessions
& Schedule
Sessions: Our High School Program is divided into two back-to-back
sessions:
Spring/Summer - runs from Mid-March thru the
end of July. This will coincide with AAU and NCAA Event schedules. For those who do not wish to participate in these events,
we will still play in multiple local leagues and tournaments that also coincide with these events. As part of the Schedule
A Session we will team practice twice a week in preparation for our games and tournament schedule. This is a change
from last year when we practiced once a week and trained once a week. We feel this will make our teams even better prepared
for games and build on our already impressive winning percentage.
Fall - runs from August 1st and continues right up to the end of October and completes just
before the start of the high school season. We will still play games and tournaments but will focus on skill training
twice weekly instead of team practice in order to maximize the preparation our players for their high school seasons and tryouts.
We conclude our Fall session with our October Conditioning and Skills Program that
was very popular and had tremendous feedback and success from last year.
Both - Players may enroll for session A, Session B, or both. Players may choose from a list of scheduled leagues,
camps, tournaments and and events that may be added as the season unfolds. To participate in games, players must be members
in good standing, having prepaid for the current session and league or tournament fees.

St. Louis Swarm Participation Cost
The cost of our program is divided into Tuition and Consumables. Tuition is the session cost associated with all practices, training classes
and all administrative fees. Consumables are the games, camps and tournaments that you choose to play. The more games and
tournaments that you that choose to play, the greater the consumable cost. So a player wishing to play year-round by only
playing in local leagues, has a lower cost than a player who chooses leagues and *tournaments. Some players will
play as few as 30 games, while others will play as many 80-100. This way our fees are fairly charged based on participation
levels and the players individual goals and budget.
Tuition Cost for 2008 will be finalized by March 1, 2008. A nominal
(3%) increase is expected due to higher insurance and gym fees.
*Tournament fees are additional, based on participation
and do not include travel expenses. You will only pay for tournaments for which you sign-up. Cancellations within 10 days
of tournament will not be refunded.
*A two uniform set is required for league and tournament play.
