I have a dream of playing college basketball in the USA.

Since I was 7 I have been obsessed with basketball. Playing every day and in what teams I can. I have been given some great opportunities in playing with a number of Representative teams, and recently played at the Australian Junior Country Basketball Cup for NSW Country, in which we came second.

Since 7yrs old, I have always wanted to play in the USA and now I have this opportunity to do so. This June/July I have been selected to go on tour with AUSA and play over in the USA and in front of 400 college coaches and scouts.

As I am in year 11 at school right now and with my school study commitments (USA colleges require a certain academic standard for scholarships) and my basketball training schedule (currently playing in 3 different competitions and training approx 10 times per week), I don't have time for a job to help fund this upcoming tour.

Your funds would really help with getting me over there, no matter how big or small. The tour costs approx $10,000 (and that is not including spending money - I will hit my dad up for this - lol)

Thank you so so much for helping me live out my dreams and play over in the USA.

Here is a video of some highlights
