AUSA Hoops

Why AUSA

Anyone can run a tour.

Flights, courts, a hotel and a bus. That part is logistics, and plenty of people can arrange it.

What separates us is 13+ years of relationships, the trust American college coaches have in the AUSA name, and the work our full-time team does every week you’re not on tour.

    13+ years of relationships

    We didn't turn up last season.

    AUSA has been running tours and building a network inside American college basketball since 2013. That is 13+ years of operating, and of knowing the same coaches long enough for it to count for something.

    Coaches take our call

    Because they already know who we are.

    We don't spam inboxes hoping something lands. American college coaches recognise the AUSA name and they pick up — and that is the whole difference between a player being seen and a highlight tape sitting unopened in a folder with three hundred others.

    A full-time team, all year round

    The tour is three weeks. The work isn't.

    Our staff speak to college coaches every month of the year, unearthing opportunities for players long before they board a plane and long after they land home. The part that matters most is the part families never see: your child's name coming up in a conversation you were not in.

And after

Pre-tour to college signing

None of it switches off when the plane lands. Selection, preparation, the tour itself, then footage, coach contact and honest advice about where a player actually fits — we stay with families the whole way. Plenty of programs end at the airport. That is usually where the hard part starts.

Where it ends up

The point of all of it.

340+ players placed into US college programs since 2013. Not a highlight reel of one good year — a list that has grown every season we have been doing this.

In their words

Don’t take our word for it.

  • The results from the tour far exceeded our expectations. From being showcased at one tournament our son received a number of division one scholarship offers.

  • Emma had been wondering about US college for a while and signed up for AUSA's AAU tour this year. The expert and candid advice and support she received from AUSA coaches over many months, about the pros and cons of US college, made all the difference.

Trials are the way in.

Nationwide trials start September 2026 for the 2027 tour season. One session, in front of AUSA coaches, with the recruiting seminar included.
