Pride Pathways
Are you an Australian high school basketball player dreaming of attending a college or university in the USA? Look no further than Pride Pathways, a top-tier basketball program that provides tailored tours for athletes just like you.
Pride Pathways offers a holistic approach to athlete development, emphasizing individual skill enhancement, team-based training, strength and conditioning, academic preparation, sports science analysis, mindfulness, dietary guidance, and readiness for life as a student-athlete in the USA. We craft personalized athlete profiles that catch the attention of college coaches, ensuring our players stand out in a highly competitive recruitment landscape.
One of the key features of Pride Pathways is our exclusive tours to the USA, where athletes compete in some of the most prestigious recruitment tournaments for elite players. We have a partnership with Made Hoops Tournaments and Nike Basketball. These tours provide a unique opportunity to showcase skills in front of NCAA Division 1 and 2 coaches, as well as full-scholarship junior colleges (Jucos), all while experiencing the college basketball environment firsthand. We also offer comprehensive support to athletes and their families, helping them navigate the complexities of communication, interest, and offers from college programs.
Unlike other programs, we don’t simply take athletes on costly trips where coaches have no prior knowledge of them. These coaches are often focused on local talent they’ve been tracking for years, leaving little room for new prospects. Nor do we push athletes toward non scholarship junior, Div 3, or NAIA colleges where tuition and fees can range from $20,000 to $50,000 per year. Instead, we focus on finding the best possible placements for elite athletes—places where they can grow, develop, and continue their journey toward professional basketball.

Pride Pathways was born out of a necessity to fill the gap in the market for dedicated pathways that prioritize the unique needs of aspiring student-athletes.

If you are a talented Australian basketball player with aspirations of pursuing higher education and athletic excellence in the USA, Pride Pathways is your ultimate guide to unlocking the doors to coveted college opportunities.
