Cairns Basketball participates in the Basketball Queensland representative competitions.
Teams are selected from young basketball players who compete in the Cairns Basketball junior competitions. The players will attend trials from which teams of boys and girls are selected. There are generally three teams of boys and two teams of girls created and trials are held for each age group at different times. We deliver a pre-representative development program called Rep-Ready, designed to prepare athletes for upcoming representative trials. Trial dates vary across age groups, so please refer to the Events Calendar on our website for specific details.
In addition, teams attend the State Championships which are held at associations throughout the state.
There are also costs involved in participating in representative basketball. Costs from 2026 are moving to a self travel model and will vary depending on the cost to travel for the State Championships.
More information is available in the Junior Representative Player Pack available soon.
