The program ended the 2016 year with a record of 203-114 with 14 Titles, including another National Club Championship, a pair of Adidas National events in INDY & the Atlanta National Championships, and another MYT National Title. 6 of the 7 teams won at least one title along the way. Girls gained a lot of exposure to college coaches and everyone improved along the way.
With a program of this size, not everyone is going to be happy but we are very fortunate to have had great kids and mostly great parents along the way. We are here to improve the players, help them better their game and learn along the way. We are not going to get caught up in “rankings”, as there are so many services pushing rankings. We will take hard work, improvement, and a little fun along the way over hype any day!!
Thanks to all the players/parents and especially the coaches who give so much time for no compensation! We could not do this without you
Below you will find a quick review of each team along with this past year’s roster
2016 Indiana Elite – S.W.I.S.H. Girls 6th grade team
First year Coach Brent Hancock, who’s coaching experience came from the men’s program at USI, had a big learning curve with travel ball and younger girls team. He navigated just fine and let the team to a 31-17 record with a pair of titles in Bowling Green and Indy. Team always played hard probably lost half their games by 7 points or less. Great foundation in year one to build on and expect many players to return to provide an even strong core for next year.

2016 Indiana Elite – S.W.I.S.H. Girls 7th grade team
Coach Robby Jones did a really nice job with this group. 40 -17 with 4 titles including the always stacked Battle of the Boarders, NCC and Best Choice July Jam. They really seemed to improve after playing in EBA’s Boys 7th/8th grade league in April going a very respectable 5-5 and 4-1 against some the areas JV high school teams. They made the trip to Atlanta for the Adidas Jr Nationals and finished 3rd. Great things are in store for this group as long as they stick together and keep working hard!

2016 Indiana Elite – S.W.I.S.H. Girls 8th grade team
Coach Mark Hisle is an outstanding teacher of the game the girls are super lucky to have him donate his time after a long high school season. His practices are fasted paced, demanding, and many times difficult, but I know this really helped them as they get ready of high school next year. 22 – 9 with 2 titles including a great run while winning the MYT Nationals. Too much time off late in June and early July ended the year on a sore not a US Jr. Nationals event but a strong run non the less. Look for some shake up at this age level next year as the commitment level is much more demanding at the HS level and desire of some appears to have peaked. Good Luck to all as they begin their HS careers

2016 Indiana Elite – S.W.I.S.H. Girls 15u team
Great group of girls that were a lot of fun to coach and showed signs of being a really good team with Tournament titles at Adidas Invite in Indy, winning a strong pool division at Run 4 the Roses, and 2nd place finish at US Jr. Nationals in Champaign as well as NCAA event in Ft. Wayne. With a 28-13 record, while playing up a division at most events, it’s easy to see why this group was a lot of fun to coach and watch grow during the season. Expect to see a few changes for next year and enough more college coaches attending our events. Nunge & Luna both made All Tournament Teams a couple of times

2016 Indiana Elite – S.W.I.S.H. Girls 16u team
2016 was a roller coaster of a year for this group. Despite finishing with an impressive 35-10 record and winning at the Adidas Summer Nationals in Atlanta, they had a few struggles along the way in finding consistent defense when the all the offensive sets were not clicking. Anna Newman made a pair of All Tournament teams and a number of the girls gained valuable college exposure along the way. I expect most all of them back for next year and hope they can pick up where they left off and coach can focus some more on defense and less on so many offensive sets so they don’t have to rely on only scoring to win.

2016 Indiana Elite – S.W.I.S.H. Girls 17u team
Coach Johnny Bartley has been a big help to our program the past several years and so glad to see his team win the State Championship following our 2016 season. Congrats!! Finishing with a 18-21 record against the some of the better teams in the country is much better than you might think. Their schedule was tough and many of their games were lost in the last 3-4 minutes. They did get to the final 4 at US Jr. Nationals in STL & Champaign. Stowe and Johnson both made all tournament teams. They would have been better if they did not have so many conflicts and rarely had a full team together
