Basketball Australia's pathway model has three stages:
- Foundation: developing fundamental movement and basketball skills and confidence. This is where Aussie Hoops sits.
- Participation: keeping players in basketball through their teenage years and into lifelong participation, because sport participation tends to drop off in the secondary school years.
- Performance: talent identification and high performance programs for athletes with the potential for elite success, with international success as the ultimate goal.
Aussie Hoops is designed as a structured program that children can take part in over a five year period.
