For young athletes aspiring to further their basketball journey beyond our club competition, donning the gold and purple to play for the Pirates is the next level to strive for!

​

Our junior representative teams participate in two competitions - South Qld Junior Basketball Competition (SQJBC) and the BQ State Championships. We select boys and girls' teams in U12, 14, 16 & 18 age groups to participate in these competitions.

​

SQJBC is played in a season format involving representative teams from all SEQ associations. Each age group consists of multiple divisions, with a grading tournament held prior to determine which division a team plays in. This competition is conducted within a school term (U12 - T3, U14 - T2, U16 - T1, U18 - T4).

​

During the holidays immediately following SQJBC our teams then participate in the BQ State Championships - a 4 or 5-day tournament that includes all representative teams throughout Queensland. This is a huge occasion for all involved and hopefully your team will come away as a State Champion!

​

Being involved in rep basketball with the Pirates also opens up opportunities to higher pathways, notably selection to U16 & U18 Queensland teams to participate in the national championships. There are also BQ development programs to aspire to including FDP (U14), QLD Emerging Squads (U15 & U17), and SPP (U16 & U18).

​

Trials for our representative teams are normally held 8-10 weeks before season commencement for each age group. Keep an eye on this page and our social media for date announcements.
