Hoop Science Student Athlete Program

Hoop Science was founded on a vision to create pathways for basketball students transitioning from secondary school to their initial post-secondary destination, combining basketball skill development with exercise science. Through the Basketball Academy, students will have the option to go to the Australian Institute of Sport, Tafe or a University which may offer financial support to elite athletes, helping them gain a tertiary education whilst pursuing their chosen sport.
