Pathways to Excellence Basketball Program

The Pathways to Excellence Basketball Program is designed to be delivered in regional and remote localities. Whilst targeting children “at risk”, it is an inclusive program aiming to provide support and opportunities to children who wish to pursue a potential career in professional sport. 

The program promotes and teaches young people to live a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise, education about drugs and alcohol, access to mentors and role models, education and understanding around mental health (including referrals and access to appropriate health professionals where appropriate), healthy relationships etc.

The program will operate after school, weekends and on school holidays.  All of this is achieved though valuable partnerships and collaboration will local community organisations.

The program is coordinated by Carlin Hughes, Damian Martin and Lachy Power.
