If you are unable to attend, additional information will be provided upon requests.

Tour information:
A reminder the tour will be open to boys who will be in years 8-11 in 2024 (i.e. current years 7-10). The tour is open to all boys playing basketball or planning to play basketball in 2024 within these year groups.

The tour will include a number of matches against local high schools, along with attending professional and college basketball games, and sightseeing. Potential dates are 30 November to 14 December 2024.

Indicative prices are $9,500 to $10,000 per student, with payment in 4 installments. This is based on 30 paying players and 4 staff.

At the information evening, a letter will be handed out asking for confirmed interest in the tour. A 10% deposit payment will then be requested to confirm your place on the tour within two weeks of the information evening. The Nudgee leadership team will then make a final decision on tour numbers.

Key details (subject to change):
Visiting Vancouver, Seattle, San Diego and Los Angeles.
5 match days per team (2 match days will be double headers) & 1 x professional coaching clinic.
Organised activities & sightseeing in each city including visiting Nike HQ, Disneyland and outlet shopping.

There is a possibility family members may be able to join the group on an adjacent tour, at the same group price, however please note this is not yet confirmed.

Please note that while we have been trying to organise a tour for some time now that the pandemic restrictions have passed, unfortunately due to the planning lead times and available resources, the earliest the school can accommodate the organisation of the tour is November/December 2024.

We understand the disappointment current year 11 boys and their families may feel. Unfortunately, they will not be eligible for this tour as they will have graduated from the College and will no longer be covered under risk protocols.
