Brisbane Capitals Junior Representative program is pleased to announce trial dates for the upcoming 2015/16 Representative Season.

These trials are for the BQJBC and State Championship season.

This year the association will be looking to nominate teams of 10 players in all age groups U12 to U21. A decision is yet to be made concerning the number of teams however we confirm at a minimum Gold and Silver (U12-U18) and one men and women’s team for U21. In past years the association has also introduced a bronze team – this should not be assumed to be the case for the coming year and is a decision taken by the association based on player depth and available coaching  expertise.

With respect to costs – indicatively the program fee will be circa $800 per player exclusive of any State Championship costs. (Note: The program fee is not reflective of a formal commitment to manage equal court time.)

Eligibility and Transfer Requirements 

Players are required to meet BBI eligibility requirements as outlined in the Junior rules – 

3.1          Prerequisite for Brisbane Basketball Junior Capitals Representation

3.2.1     Any player who wishes to represent the Brisbane Basketball Junior Capitals in the representative season that commences after the Championship Season MUST: 

•         be registered with BBI and a BBI Club and playing in the BBJBC Championship Season within their correct Age Group as per the calendar year

•         play a minimum of 50% of eligible games in the BBJBC Championship Season within their correct Age Group as per the calendar year

•         GBL games do not count towards finals eligibility in the BBJBC championship season

3.2.2     The ONLY exemption to Rule 3.2.1, which will also be assessed by the BBI General Manager, is when a player moves from a Queensland location outside a radius of 100 kilometre from the BBI office at Auchenflower, from a state outside of Queensland or from a country outside of Australia.  If an exemption is granted the player must immediately join a BBI Club.

It is important to restate that all players who played for another association last year MUST have a completed permission to trial form or a full clearance from their last association prior to commencing trials ( even if this was more than 12 months ago). If this approval is not completed and provided to the association the player will not be allowed to trial. The penalty from Basketball Queensland for a breach of this rule is $200 and the player will be ineligible to play for 3 months.

The details are as follows
