12's Next Gen Program 2025

The Next Gen Program (NGP) is aimed at finding the next generation of athletes that could one day represent Queensland. The program will also expose young athletes to a high performance environment, and provide a taste of what to expect if they progress along the High Performance pathway in the future. It will provide a development opportunity with on-court and off-court sessions that will help improve the athletes holistically.

The 12s Next Gen Pass is eligible for any U12 athlete that competes in BQJBC rep competitions in 2025. The pass allows you to attend as many of the camps across Queensland as you like, gives you access to all Next Gen Hub sessions, a parent presentation, two online educational workshops and the Next Gen Shooting Program document. BQ also uses 12's Next Gen as a part of Talent ID for the Next Gen Combine. The 2025 program is the biggest yet!
