20th April 2020

For the past month, Basketball Queensland has been in constant contact with Basketball Australia (BA), Sport and Rec and our associations to determine when basketball activities can resume. Given the current restrictions surrounding COVID-19 it’s difficult to make a determination on restarting competitions until those restrictions are lifted. As it stands, all basketball activities across the state will remain suspended until further notice.

BQJBC, CQJBC and QNJBC

• BQJBC, CQJBC and QNJBC U12 & U14s – Suspended until further notice

  • We will review a revised start date with associations on Friday, 22 May 2020

  • We are currently working on a revised draw to ensure a full season for players

State Championships

• U16 State Championships – Postponed (to be held at same venues if possible) 

  • Due to the postponement of the Under 16 Australian Junior Championships, there is now an opportunity to conduct this tournament in July (school holidays) provided the current restrictions have been relaxed.

  • We will review this decision on Friday 22 May, 2020 to de

termine if this tournament can proceed at that time

• U12 & U14 State Championships – Unchanged

  • Following consolation with our associations we have agreed to review the decision to hold the U12s (Boys & Girls: 7-10 July) and U14s (Girls: 28 June – 1 July and Boys: 2-5 July) on Friday 22 May, 2020

All U12, U14 & U16 State Championships participants have been emailed to provide their feedback on holding the State Championships in the July holidays.
