Coaches

The Wichita Swish are blessed with some of the most dedicated coaches in the area. Each coach understands the game of basketball and the goals of the Swish Organization. The coaches of the Swish are volunteer coaches, willing to sacrifice their time for the well being of building a brighter future for a select group of young men in the Wichita area. Not only are the coaches sacrificing a great deal of time, but carry a financial burden for the team as well. Be thankful of your coaches and make sure they feel appreciated.

Coach Garrison started the Swish in the Spring of 2006. The Swish started simply as an idea for keeping a group of young men active during the summer, providing moral leadership while teaching teamwork, discipline, and fun in a competitive environment. Although the team has changed over the last few years, the goals remain the same.

Coach Garrison is responsible for the offense and overall organization of the team.

Team Mom & Videographer: Melanie Garrison

Team Mom & Videographer: Melanie Garrison

Melanie helps keep everyone in line (especially Coach Garrison). She serves as part treasurer, teacher, cheerleader, and good luck charm. She also video tapes the games when she is present at tournaments. This is a huge favor to the team, as the video aids in identifying areas of concern in our play, compiling statistics, and highlight videos for this web site.

Melanie helps with the finances of the team, tracking the income and expenses and making sure Coach Garrison isn't reaching to deep into his own pocket to cover team travel and tournament entry fees.

Thanks for your support!
