Swoosh

Swoosh Is Back!

Since 2009, ASTAC has been proud to host a free throw competition in the eight residential villages we serve. This north slope past time is called Swoosh. It is a family-friendly event that brings our communities together for an evening of basketball and a great time to spend with members in our service communities. Along with the competition we have team members available before the event for device sales and any assistance requested. 

This year's grand prize winner will win a trip for two to the 2024 NCAA Men's Final Four tournament in Phoenix, AZ. All North Slope Borough residents are eligible to participate and need not be an ASTAC member.
