The attention to detail that AUSA demonstrates during the planning of their tours is second to none. We were always kept fully informed and updated with their training schedule and playing results throughout the trip. We always felt that our son was in a safe environment.

Sending your child overseas to chase a basketball scholarship is a big decision. Here's how AUSA Hoops makes sure they're safe.
Our people
AUSA Hoops' experience in running AAU tours safely is genuinely elite. Our tour organisers, staff, and US-based partners are among the industry's best.
Carefully selected chaperons and coaches
Our chaperons and coaches are responsible for the safety and supervision of each team, and each team has their own chaperone. They are:
- All first aid qualified
- All 25 years of age or older
- Highly experienced, most have been on multiple AUSA AAU tours and other American tour trips
This isn't our first rodeo.
We sweat the small stuff
Preparation. Planning. Details. Our safety record comes from how much we prepare for each trip:
- Thorough research of each tour and the AAU tournaments we attend
- Curfews so players are in their accommodation by a set time
- Stringent coach selection
- Detailed logistics for travel, accommodation, meals, training, and games
We've got you covered
All players are required to take out their own personal travel insurance. On top of that, AUSA holds company insurances in both Australia and the USA, so everyone is looked after in any extraordinary situations.
We pick our tournaments with care
We aren't going to LA every year because it's the cheapest flight. We work with US tournament directors each year to know where college coaches will be. The AAU landscape shifts frequently, and we adjust to put your child in the best position to be recruited.
Local and international support
We have staff in Australia and in the States while we're on tour. There is always someone you can contact, on either side of the world.
