If you are a parent or a coach of an athlete that is interested in taking their game to the next level, our High Performance team, in conjunction with Core Advantage and Basketball Australia’s Pathways team have created two specifically designed information sessions that are free to attend.
You can register for either or both sessions through one of our High Performance Coaching Hubs across Victoria.
The Basketball Australia (B.A) Pathways sessions consist of:

Throughout the sessions the team from Basketball Australia will highlight the fundamentals of what to expect whilst going through the pathways of college basketball to ensure that you and your athlete are well informed and educated to maximise the opportunities that are available.
