Boys and Girls Leagues
MINNESOTA SWISH Fall League 2020!
2020 FORMAT
With individual player signups and a tryout process, athletes will be placed in a division consisting of up to 16 players. Those athletes will compete twice a week, with one being a weeknight and once on Saturday in September and October. In wanting to create a competitive environment, individual player standings will be kept. Will be using west metro gyms with possible options in Chaska, Chanhassen, Waconia or other surrounding schools.
Each of the weeknight sessions will be 1.5 hours in length and will consist of:
10 Minutes - Warm up
15 Minutes - 1on1 Game Play
20 Minutes - 3on3 Half Court Game Play
45 Minutes - 5on5 Full Court Game Play (16 minute running time halves)
Each of the Saturday sessions will be 1 hour and 45 minutes in length and will consist of:
5 Minutes - Warm up
20 Minutes - 3on3 Half Court Game Play
20 Minutes - Shooting/Finishing Skill Work
60 Minutes - 5on5 Full Court Game Play (22 minute running time halves)
Will also be adding an optional group Shooting/Finishing workout each week (likely a weekday 4:30-6:00pm) for $5 per player or $15 for non-Fall League players for those who want to get more basketball repetitions and skill work in.
Individual Player Standings - Scoring System:
2 points if your 5on5 Team Wins
2 points if your 3on3 Team Wins
2 points for Most Points Scored in your 1on1 Group (3 groups)
1 point for 2nd Most Points Scored in your 1on1 Group
5on5 Teams, 3on3 Teams, and 1on1 Groups will be different each session and will be split to try to get competitive balance. For example, one night you would have "player x" on your team, and the next session he/she would likely be an opponent.
Sample Standings after 2 sessions:
1. M.Jordan - 12 points
2. L.Bird - 10 points
3. M.Johnson - 9 points
4. (tie) K.Malone - 7 points
4. (tie) C.Barkley - 7 points
6. I.Thomas - 5 points

*Could potentially have two divisions at a certain age level. If that is the case, they would be split into a top group and 2nd group after tryouts. The hope is to get everyone that wants to play a chance to do so. Need at least 12 athletes to run a division. A couple of examples, if there are 28 kids that tryout, would likely do 14 and 14. If 25 tryout would likely do 16 in top and 9 in second. The tough range will be if 17 to 24 kids tryout for a division, would likely only have one division of 16. If 2 divisions are formed at a grade level, will try to keep them playing at the same time using 2 courts.
REGISTER for tryouts below
Each division will be led by Hoops Training & MN Swish Director Andrew Dahl along with two other coaches who will try to point out tips and give guidance while also acting as referees in the scrimmaging.

OTHER ITEMS
Hoping to be able to allow parents/fans in the gym as well, but that's somewhat up in the air at this point on how many people will be allowed in the gym at one time. Spectators are currently not allowed at District 112 gyms for the Summer League.
With the Fall League format, players will be kept in their "pod" of 16 players and won't be competing with other club teams or fall league divisions.
The COVID-19 risk liability waiver needs to be signed and returned at tryouts, otherwise the athlete will not be able to participate.
*The waiver is located right under the "Register" button below*
If the Swish Fall League would be cut short for any reason, prorated refunds (minus some expenses that likely wouldn't be able to be recouped such as the jersey) would be given.
