• State Coach Aspire Positions

    Expressions of Interest
  • Each year Basketball Queensland (BQ) offers up to 40 State Team volunteer coaching positions (plus a number of Emerging Team coaching positions) to help coaches across the State further their development. 

    Coaches are invited to work with our Queensland U16, U18 and U20 State Teams, as well as our High Performance Emerging Teams (Future Development Program), culminating in National competitions such as the Australian Junior Championships (AJC).

    These volunteer coaching positions have served as an excellent development pathway for coaches aspiring to coach in the NBL1 and Australian National Youth Team level.

  • Register Your Interest

  • BQ is calling for Expressions of Interest from performance youth coaches to better identify and develop coaches with aspirations to coach at an AJC. 

    Selected coaches will have the opportunity to improve their performance coaching to NBL1 and National Youth Team standards by working alongside Queensland's High Performance and Game Development team. 

    Suitably committed coaches should be willing to help Queensland be successful at AJCs in an Assistant or Head Coach position.

  • State Team Aspire Coaches will need to demonstrate a commitment to the BQ State Performance Program (SPP), prior to any potential State Team appointment.

    This includes:

    • Approx. 12 sessions over two school terms (as nominated by the candidate)
    • One SPP selection day (within same age group time frame)
    • One SPP camp per year (within the same nominated time frame age group)
    • A commitment for two consecutive years (24 sessions) is being sought.
    • A desire and growth mindset to learn BQ's Style of Play (SOP) and to gain experience in what’s required/best practice to successfully coach a State Team

      Candidates should be aware that after submitting this EOI, your association's Director of Coaching endorsement will be sought as part of the process.
