The State Performance Program (SPP) involves the systematic and progressive identification, selection and development of athletes in Under 16 and Under 18 age groups, through to Under 20s, with the aim of preparing players to represent Queensland at the Australian Junior Championships (AJCs) across those age groups.
The program operates in two separate regions – north and south Queensland – to enable players to access specialized and dedicated individual and team resources, regardless of the athlete’s location in the state.
Open selection trials for SPP U16 are held geographically and in regions throughout Queensland. Any age eligible (2008/09) athletes registered with BQ can register for trials.
