Testimonials
Here is what parents had to say about our camps:
-
I am so glad that my
girls were able to participate in your (Houston)
camps this summer. They learned, developed, and improved so much in
just those two weeks. The real testament to the beauty of you and
SWISH is the life lessons that they learned. I appreciate the attitude
adjustments and work ethic you instilled. They could not have gotten
such support in any other camp. Your staff is phenomenal. Thanks to
you all for helping my girls to grow! -Audrey Tyus, Houston,TX
-
Just wanted to
thank you for your camp. As you know, the girls are so new to
basketball and this was a great and positive step for them in the
sport. They had a blast and felt like they learned a lot!!! -

"My
daughter attended Swish camp in Houston, TX, this past summer and
loved it. It was a great experience for her, and she is looking
forward to going again. I would like information on any upcoming
camps that she may be able to attend in or near the Houston area
(including San Antonio)."
-Tomasina Sampa, Houston, Texas

"Just a quick note to let you know that
your camp in Houston was great. This is the second year for my
daughter, Kolby. The Swish camps have given Kolby the skills that
she needs to better her game on the court but also her skills off
the court. Your staff in Houston was fantastic. The lessons of
basketball, education, and personal skills that Kolby has learned
from the Swish camp are so valuable to her.
Kolby and I have built a friendship
with you and your staff the past two years and we look forward to
future camps. Kolby was very excited to play on the all-star game
at the end of camp. All she talked about for the past two weeks
after camp was the experience that she had and keeps asking me
when the next Swish basketball camp is scheduled in
Houston. Cooper was great at the camp. What can you say about
Cooper, she had the attention of the girls at camp and taught them
some of her skills and her training habits. Going to the Comets
game was also an awesome experience to show the girls the skills
they learned at the professional level. I would highly recommend
your camp to any of my friends that have a girl that wants to
better their skills in basketball. Kudos to you and your
staff."
-Mitchell B. Sharp -Pearland, TX
- "My granddaughter attended this camp for the first
time. Kandace has very little experience playing but has the desire to
learn and the heart of a lion. She had an absolute blast at camp. She
told me she was tired, she was sore, she loved the staff, she loved
the camp and she learned a lot. Kandace was very excited about Vlade
Divac coming to camp one day and talking to the kids and signing their
shirts. She was thrilled when Ticha came and signed their shirts and
basketballs but perhaps the very highlight of her experience was being
picked to play at half time of the Monarch's/Liberty game on July 24.
Thank you for making this camp such a positive experience for her and
you can be assured that she will be there next year." -Coralee
Barnes Lincoln, California
- "I
just wanted to to let you know what a wonderful time my daughter had
at the Ticha Penicheiro camp! I am very impressed with the way the
camp was ran, the quality of the coaches, and that Ticha was so very
involved and helpful. It meant the world to my daughter. We are
looking forward to the next camp, and I know it will not happen quick
enough" -Susie Lopez, Sacramento, CA.
- "I just wanted to say that I really had fun at the camp. Do you
know when it's going to be next year so that I can come again." -Kallie
Williams, Texas
- "I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful
time Sarah had at the Swish Ticha Basketball Camp this past week. I
think the experience has made her whole year and the camp encompassed
all theskills she has acquired on the various basketball teams on
which she has played. Ticha and your staff were very warm and
supportive in their instruction, and Sarah's confidence has received a
tremendous boost from the experience of working with all of you. The
icing on the cake was the opportunity for her to play during half-time
at the Monarch's game. It was priceless seeing little Sarah "do her
thing" on the court in that big stadium. Thank you so much for making
that possible!" -Carol Sanchez, Sacramento, CA.
- "First, I would like
to give thanks to the Camp Director Ms. Dana Kovich for her kindness
during our visit to the Swish Camp 2003 in
Houston
,
Texas
. She gave the parents
one-on-one attention when they needed her. My daughter, Shaquitta,
really enjoyed the camp and made some new friends while there. The
camp staff was friendly, full of life, and showed the kids a good time
while teaching them good basketball skills. I would specially like to
thank Coach Sue for her guidance, understanding, and useful criticism
when dealing with my daughter's ball skills. They will be used well. I
would recommend this camp all the parents I know. Again, thanks to all
and we hope to see you next year."
- I enjoyed Swish Summer Camp 2003 in Houston with Tina Thompson. I
learned alot and one special thing I found my confidence again. That
is something I haven't had in a long time." -Shatay Creighton,
Natchitoches LA
-
"My daughter went to her first Swish Camp in
Houston this summer (2003) and really enjoyed it and wants to make as
many as she can. Thank you for showing my daughter a wonderful time
and
teaching her all the great stuff." -Matt and Katrina Wooten,
Victoria, TX
- "I want to thank you for
such a wonderful day at Ticha Penicheiro's first camp. You and your
staff had the day so well planned and organized that it made it so
great for the girls ( and even for us parents who stayed to watch!).
It's nice to see so many people involved in helping young women better
themselves and have opportunities."
-Sally Leogrande Citrus Heights, CA
- "I'm writing to congratulate you on this
year's Tina camp (2002) and Sheryl Swoope's (2001) last year. My
daughters, Carla and Christy, enjoyed them and learned a lot"
-Carlene Lewis Houston, TX
- "I attended the Sheryl Swoopes Camp on
April 2001. I had a great time. I was on team Mercury. I learned
more in that one day than in my whole basketball season."
-Gabriella Reyes, Staten Island
- "I just wanted to "thank
you" for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of the Swish
Basketball experience. It was truly a wonderful experience. I had
the opportunity to meet some many wonderful people and I enjoying
working with Coach Paul and all the young girls, it was a blast.
Thanks again, I wish you and your staff great success with Swish
Basketball. You guys are a class act. Hopefully, we can get together
for another camp in the future."
-Sheryl Linton- Volunteer, Houston

"I took my daughter and three of her
friends. The Camp was well planned and attention was given to every
detail. The girls enjoyed themselves so much they want to go back next
year. Their staff was well trained and interested in the improvement
of the girls' skills. As a parents my concern was to leave the girls
alone in case of problems; I need not have worried. I was invited to
stay in the bleachers or leave because the girls were well supervised
with lots of staff. Chips and water were plentiful and concerned,
knowledgeable staff was available for the small injuries that
occasionally occur on the court. Would I recommend the Camp to others?
You bet. It was a good experience and definitively a good value for
the girls involved. The girls did get a workout and were happy but tired
afterwards. Thanks to Dana and Tony for a great camp."
-Randal Hankla, Houston, Texas

"I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
WE ENJOYED YOUR CAMP. WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH HOW ORGANIZED AND HOW
GREAT ALL THE COACHES WERE AT THEIR JOBS. IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH THE
DRIVE FOR US. OUR DAUGHTER TIFFANY GATES IS STILL ON CLOUD 9 THAT SHE
GOT TO MEET SHERYL SWOOPES. THE ONE ON ONE ATTENTION WAS REALLY
IMPRESSIVE. I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE US AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. IF YOU
EVER HOLD ONE IN LUBBOCK WE WILL BE THERE. LUBBOCK IS ONLY A 3 HOUR
DRIVE FOR US NOT 14 LIKE HOUSTON. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR
LETTING TIFFANY GIVE SHERYL THE BEAR SHE WAS REALLY EXCITED THAT SHE
GOT TO DO THAT. THANKS AGAIN FOR A GREAT CAMP!" --TERESA
GATES Camper's parent.

"My daughter, Tallat, who's 11 years
old, attended the Sheryl Swoopes Swish Camp in Houston. She was so
very impressed with "how nice" everyone treated them and that the
coaches were really teaching them, and most of all with how "regular"
Sheryl was. She said that for a big star, Sheryl is THE BEST! As a
parent, I was very impressed with the professionalism of all of the
coaches, the registration process, and how attentive, sincere and
interested Sheryl Swoopes was with the campers. I will attend as many
games as possible as a result of this camp. She has improved my image
of star athletes. She was a bigger hit with the parents. Keep us the
good work, you're fantastic!!! -Loretta Jamal - parent and "grown
up fan"
-
"I thought it was a lot of fun
(especially when I gave Sheryl the bear!). It was really great that I
got to see Sheryl. The coaches, especially Tony, were funny and
nice. I can't wait 'til the next camp!"
-Julia Bean· Age 10 Brick, N.J.
-
I really liked that I could watch what
was going on and see my daughter in action. It was so special that
Sheryl Swoopes was there, hands on, the whole time!! The staff was
courteous, hospitable and personable."
-Mrs. Bean Brick, N.J.
-
"My daughter Fallan and I want to thank
you (Camp Director Dana Kovich) Sheryl and your staff for a
wonderful weekend. We are still ecstatic! This is the only camp I
have know my daughter to really enjoy. She is even more motivated now
than before and was greatly inspired by Sheryl. Her shooting skills
were greatly improved this weekend. We are looking forward to
attending future camps, especially your shooting camps."
-Kathy Miller Plainfield, N.J.
-
"My daughter has been raving about the
Swoopes Swish Camp ever since she got home. She was especially
thrilled with playing one-on-one with Sheryl Swoopes (even though her
shot got blocked). Keep up the good work!"
-Jim Palmer Linden, N.J.
-
"Thank you for providing my daughter
with a great experience. She couldn't stop talking about the good
time. We experienced a very special competency exhibited by the
people that we came in contact with, like the Camp Director and the
Athletic Trainer and of course Ms. Swoopes....We enjoyed watching
Sheryl interact with the girls and how they adored her. She is very
special and we were so lucky to have met her."
-Pete Svoboda N.J.
-
"We came
because we wanted to see Sheryl Swoopes and to play basketball. She is
my favorite player and my favorite team is the Houston Comets. Today
we learned dribbling, the cross-over, and defensive lines and
passing." -- Camper
-
"My mom was looking on the Internet and
she found this Swish camp. We also have family out here so I decided
to come try the camp. It has been great." -- Camper
-
What I liked best about the SWISH
basketball camp was how they helped each of us work on the skills we
were weakest at performing. My weakest skill was dribbling so they
taught me how to dribble two balls at once. By the end of the week I
was able to dribble two balls at once while keeping my head up.
Another thing I really liked about the camp was how they were always
confident in me because they knew I could be successful and they were
right! Thank you "Coaches" one and all!
-Chantae Stone Somerset N.J.

"I just wanted to write to you and tell
you what a wonderful time I had at your camp. In enjoyed it very
much. There were so many techniques that I learned and others that I
was able to improve on. It was a great experience and thanks to yours
and the other's coaches' encouragement and positive advice, you helped
me to improve my playing skills and build up my confidence while I
play. I hope that you will have another camp next summer."
-Jennifer Leiber, camper Marlboro, NJ
-
My daughter has improved so much this
season in basketball and the Swish Camp is the reason why!" -Mr.
John Stone, parent Somerset N.J.
