Charlotte Hogan is the kind of athlete who turns up early, stays late, and gives her all — not because she’s asked to, but because she loves the game. Currently in Year 9, Charlotte has already spent years balancing school, family, friendships, and a demanding sporting schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, late nights, or weekends filled with games and training, she shows up with determination, resilience, and a quiet confidence well beyond her years. Basketball isn’t just something Charlotte plays — it’s something she works at every single day. That dedication has earned her a place with the Frankston Blues, and now an incredible opportunity: selection to tour the United States with the Frankston Blues in late 2026. This tour isn’t just a trip — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will challenge Charlotte as both an athlete and a young person. During the tour, Charlotte will compete against elite U.S. high school and prep school teams in intense tournament environments designed to push players beyond their comfort zones. She’ll experience different playing styles, faster pace, physical competition, and pressure situations that mirror the next level of basketball — the kind of moments that can’t be replicated at home. Beyond the court, Charlotte will step into the heart of basketball culture. She’ll walk the iconic campuses of Duke University and the University of North Carolina, see NCAA games live, and gain first-hand insight into what dedication, discipline, and team culture look like at the highest level of the sport. These experiences don’t just inspire young athletes — they broaden their belief in what’s possible.The journey will take her across Texas, Virginia, North Carolina, and California, exposing her to new cities, new cultures, and new ways of thinking. From tournament play and exhibition games to unforgettable moments like attending NBA games, visiting iconic sporting venues, and even experiencing uniquely American traditions, Charlotte will build memories — and friendships — that last a lifetime. Just as importantly, this tour is about growth off the court. Travelling internationally as part of a team teaches independence, responsibility, leadership, and resilience. Charlotte will learn to manage her time, support her teammates, adapt to unfamiliar environments, and represent her club and country with pride — skills that extend far beyond basketball and into life itself. Charlotte doesn’t take opportunities like this lightly. She understands the work it’s taken to get here — and the work still ahead. This fundraising effort will help make her USA tour possible, easing the financial burden on her family and allowing her to focus fully on training, competing, and growing through this experience.By supporting Charlotte, you’re not just helping fund a basketball tour — you’re investing in a young athlete’s confidence, character, and future. Every donation, no matter the size, helps turn years of hard work and dedication into an unforgettable opportunity that will shape Charlotte for years to come.Thank you for being part of her journey.
