USE OUR PLATFORM TO COMPETE FOR A COLLEGE BASKETBALL SCHOLARSHIP

AUSA Hoops is the Official USA Tour Provider for
Basketball Australia Pathways

why aau?

It is where college recruiting happens.

AAU basketball is the testing ground for all US high school players. At any given tournament there could be anywhere from 100 to 1,500 college coaches scouting for their next players. This is what makes the tournaments so valuable. They are a platform to prove you belong at the next level.

Playing AAU is the most ideal way for an Aussie player to get exposure to college basketball scouts. For a college coach, when Aussies play AAU they can evaluate you as a foreign player in an environment that they understand. For a coach, there is nothing like seeing a player perform live on the court to evaluate their talent.

Finally, if you aren’t sure if college is for you, AAU can be a phenomenal way to experience lots of games against American competition for your own experience and development.

The girls AAU TOUR

This is not a holiday, it is a business trip. The players will be pushed in practice, expected to attend study hall to prepare for their school exams and take care of their bodies, just like a Division I NCAA student-athlete.

Our goal is to give AUSA players the best platform to pursue a college basketball scholarship.

And our coaches will be right there to support you through it all.

Trip Details

  • June/July (Term 2 school holidays)

  • Location (dependent on tournament location. Likely Dallas or Louisville area).

  • Ideal for girls in Years 10, 11, 12 and those just graduated in the year of the tour.

These tours are held during NCAA live recruiting periods which are specific time periods assigned for college coaches and scouts to recruit new players.

Coaching & Mentorship

When players sign up to come on our tour, they put themselves out there and say “I want to pursue this dream I have of playing college basketball'“. And playing college basketball is hard. Chasing your dreams is even harder.

We make a concerted effort to make sure that our players have the support they need as they face the challenges that come with chasing their dreams. As much as we focus on providing a platform for college recruiting success, we provide a support system for personal growth. We work to teach our players the work ethic, accountability and consistency required to be a success in basketball (and in any pursuit).

Expect to face physical, mental and emotional challenges on the tour.

Key Outcomes include:

  • An understanding of the talent level in college basketball

  • An understanding of where you fit into the college basketball landscape

  • Experience with film evaluation and scouting reports
