ABOUT Hugo Swan
I have been selected to be part of the very first 100% Indigenous youth basketball team from Australia to tour the United States.
I have been dedicated to basketball as a player, referee and coach for as long as I can remember and am committed to being the best I possibly can be as a player, team mate and leader both on and off the court. From my performance at the PCYC Nations of Origin I was selected to be part of this historic team to tour the USA in 2026.
I will be representing my Nation, community, and PCYC NSW on an international stage while competing in Junior Varsity basketball tournaments, participating in high-performance training and experience cultural exchange opportunities with Native American communities. This will be a life-changing experience — one that will help me grow as an athlete, a leader, and a proud First Nations young person.
Basketball is my passion, it has taught me the meaning of being being part of a team, respect and resilience. I have worked hard to overcome set backs and injuries and return to the court stronger than before.
I will be fundraising between now and end of March 2026 by running bbq's, raffles, working in my community and designing my own basketball singlet to represent my personal values of resilience, integrity and respect.
I humbly ask for your support to make my dream come true and open new doors of opportunity for the future.
