College Recruitment for Australians
The club based basketball infrastructure in Australia varies significantly from the school based basketball system in the United States of America (USA). In the past it has been difficult for American coaches to navigate Australia’s basketball landscape to effectively recruit talented Australians. Similarly, junior Australian Athletes have exhausted much time and money to navigate the American collegiate system. Basketball Australia Pathways is the safe and secure path between our countries.
