U12 CQJBC SEASON WRAP
And just like that, our U12 CQJBC season is complete! Across three CQJBC carnivals, we’ve watched our youngest rep players grow in confidence, develop as teammates and proudly represent Bundaberg Basketball.
U12 BULLS - DIVISION 1 GOLD MEDALLISTS
What a season for our Bulls! Finishing the CQJBC season as Division 1 Gold Medallists is an incredible achievement and something this group should be extremely proud of. Across the three carnivals, we watched this team continue to develop, compete and come together. The work they have put in throughout the season has paid off, and that gold medal is a fantastic reward for their commitment.
U12 BEARS – DIVISION 1
From the 1st CQJBC through to the 3rd CQJBC, the improvement in this group was clear. They continued to close the gap, reduce point differentials and compete harder. But one of the things we are most proud of is the feedback received throughout the season about this team. Their sportsmanship, attitude and genuine love of the game did not go unnoticed. They kept showing up, kept working and kept enjoying their basketball regardless of the result. That is something worth celebrating.
U12 BULLS MAROON - DIVISION 2
The difference in our Bulls Maroon team between where they started and where they finished was fantastic to see. Point differentials continued to come down, they became more competitive and, most importantly, they never stopped having a crack. Throughout the season, this group earned plenty of positive feedback for the way they played the game, supported one another and represented Bundaberg Basketball. For a young development team, that growth is exactly what we want to see.
TO OUR COACHES & MANAGERS…
A huge thank you to the coaches and managers who have given so much of their time, energy and support to our U12 teams throughout the CQJBC season. To Wayne, Maree & Dylan with our Bulls, Reaghan & CJ with our Bears, and Scott & Jake with our Bulls Maroon, thank you for the work you have put into developing and encouraging our players. And to our Managers Shanze (Bulls), Michelle (Bears) and Josh (Bulls Maroon), thank you for everything you do behind the scenes to keep our teams organised and supported. We are incredibly grateful to have you all as part of our U12 Rep Program.
AND TO OUR FAMILIES & PLAYERS...
Thank you to all of our parents and families for the kilometres travelled, early mornings, weekends away, cheering from the sidelines and everything that happens behind the scenes to give these kids these opportunities.
But most importantly, congratulations to our players.
Whether you finished CQJBC with a gold medal around your neck or simply as a much better basketball player than the one who started the season, there is plenty to be proud of.
Now all three teams turn their attention to the next challenge... Basketball Queensland U12 State Championships commencing 24 September!
