gThis tour is a once in a lifetime opportunity that most people only ever dream about.h
Quote from Suzuki Noburo (father of a former ADU tour member))
1 - Strong Competition:
Australia is one of the true powerhouses of Basketball. The Womens team are the defending World Champions and ranked #2 overall in the world. The Men are ranked #9 overall in the World and being tagged a genuine rising world force. Overall Australia is the #2 ranked combined (men and women) basketball nation in the World.
Previous ADU team tours to Australia have proven that there is a real opportunity for players of all levels and ages to experience a different style of basketball.
2 - Cost effectiveness
The cost of the tour is much cheaper than what you would normally pay for an opportunity like this. ADU Basketball Tours is in a fortunate position where we have a lot of support from both the Australian and Japanese basketball community to help make this trip affordable for all involved.
3 - Once in a lifetime opportunity
Travelling at a young age opens up the eyes of our youth to what the world has to offer. Studies show that international travel helps kids mature; broadening their outlook and understanding of their place in our multicultural world.
Australia offers a unique opportunity to experience a different lifestyle that can only truly be explained by experiencing it yourself.
And importantly, members will make international friends, many who will remain friends for life.
