Over 200 talented athletes attended trials in Townsville, Mackay, Brisbane and Logan making this year's trials one of our largest.

The SPP is BQ’s second tier high-performance program for players aged U16 and U18, which has seen identified athletes go on to represent Queensland and Australia, play in both the NBL and WNBL and secure college scholarships in the USA.

Our SPP athletes are in the middle of a six-week intensive training program at their closest training hub, focusing on the BQ Style of Play and preparing them for elite basketball.

At the conclusion of the U18 State Championships in January, a group of 12-16 athletes from each SPP group will be invited to take part in a selection camp. The selection camp will determine the final group of 10 athletes (for each U18 State Team) that will participate in the 2022 Australian Junior Championships.
