Why AAU
It is where college recruiting happens.
AAU is where college recruiting happens. Between 100 and 1,500 college coaches scout at a single AAU tournament. We bring Australian players into those gyms to be evaluated live, on the right teams, against the right competition.
- 01AAU is the proving ground for US high school basketball, it's where coaches identify and recruit talent.
- 02Live evaluation always beats highlight reels. Coaches want to see how you compete, not how you've been edited.
- 03Playing in the American environment makes you familiar with the pace, the style, and the coaching expectations.
- 04In 2016, the AUSA Platinum AAU Tour Team had 100% of its players receive college scholarship offers.

Coaching & Mentorship
The work behind the work.
When you sign up for our tour, you put yourself out there and say “I want to pursue this dream of playing college basketball.” Playing college basketball is hard. Chasing the dream is even harder.
We make a concerted effort to make sure our players have the support they need to face that challenge. As much as we focus on providing a platform for college recruiting success, we provide a support system for personal growth — 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 tour.
