Upward Tours ✈️

Over the past few years, we’ve taken half a dozen USA tours, giving female athletes the opportunity to experience basketball in America firsthand.

Our tours allow athletes to compete against some of the top high school prospects in the USA, compare their game against elite competition, visit college campuses and learn what it genuinely takes to play college basketball.

But it’s about more than basketball. Athletes also experience American culture, travel and life beyond home, building confidence and independence along the way.

Through our relationships with college coaches and programs across multiple levels, we’re able to provide athletes and families with a unique and realistic insight into the college basketball pathway — helping young women better understand their options and make informed decisions about life after high school.
