We look forward to seeing everyone across the 4 days of the competition. If you see us out and about please say G'day.

Under 12 and Under 14 State Championships Update: It has been a hectic few days at the Basketball Queensland Under 12 State Championships for our team. And around midday today everyone learned that the remaining games at the Under 12s where cancelled, and the Under 14 Boys in Toowoomba had been cancelled by Basketball Queensland in response to the snap 3 day lockdown in various parts of Queensland by the Queensland Government. We support this difficult decision and will do our best to assist everyone where we can.

With the cancellation of the Under 14 Boys State Championships in Toowoomba; we have begun an immediate audit of who has paid deposits for posters and which teams have paid for the Team and Portrait Photo Orders; and we will begin processing refunds for everyone from 9am tomorrow.

Please be patient with us while we undertake this work.

Our aim is to have everyone who prepaid for photos at the Under 14 Boys State Championships fully refunded by the end of this 3 day lockdown - or at least contacted so they know we are refunding them.

If you are in this group, please be aware that Ross may contact you about your refund over the next 3 days or so.

We understand that the Under 14 Girls State Championships are currently under review by Basketball Queensland and we will wait their advice (and continue to obey all QLD Health orders) while we remain hopeful that the Under 14 Girls State Championships will go ahead.

We realise how much work everyone puts into the State Championships and that having any event cancelled or postponed is difficult for everyone in the basketball community. We urge everyone to hang in there during this challenging time, to follow the health advice, to get tested if you feel unwell and to keep an eye on the Basketball Queensland social channels for further announcements regarding the Under 14 Girls State Championships in Mackay. Hopefully we get to see you all there.

1/7/21 @5:32pm Post Update for the Under 14 Boys: all refunds have now been completed. Thank you to everyone who placed orders with us. Hopefully BQ can reschedule the championships to a date later this year so the Under 14 Boys all get to play!
