Swish Academy

Our Mission

Swish Academy is a youth basketball program in Taiwan. Our intent is to encourage and support youth basketball at the grassroots level in our communities and improve the overall quality, expectations, and experiences of youth basketball participants in Taiwan, on a global scale.

Our Vision

Our vision to provide complete basketball related training and player development program for all children over their entire youth careers (and into adulthood). Our fifteen year program is designed for both casual players and elite competitors.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to enrich and contribute to our communities through the sport of basketball. Doing so not only allows our coaches to mentor and share their experiences, it also allows our program to share in the improvement of the future talent pool in Taiwan. We endeavor to build hoopers who have the confidence and ability to take advantage of the same opportunities that other talented international players enjoy.

We specialize in developing the skills and building the IQ & understanding necessary to compete with confidence on the court, at any and all levels.
