Bundaberg Basketball

LAST CQJBC CARNIVAL FOR OUR U12s!

This weekend our U12 Bears, Bulls and Bulls Maroon head to Rockhampton for their final CQJBC carnival of the 2026 season..

It has been fantastic watching our youngest representative players grow throughout the season. From their first carnival to now, they’ve continued to develop their basketball, build confidence, learn what it means to be part of a team and proudly represent Bundaberg Basketball.

A huge thank you also goes to the wonderful local businesses who have supported each of our U12 teams this season. Their sponsorship helps make representative basketball possible for our players and families, and we are incredibly grateful to have so many businesses willing to get behind our junior athletes.

🏀 Friday 21/8 Junior Competition Update

With many of our U12 representative players heading to Rockhampton this weekend, there are a few changes to Friday night’s junior competition.

Development Boys – 5:10pm
The scheduled Development Boys games will be cancelled, with all but three players from this division away for the U12 Rep Carnival.

If you’re not a Rep player and would still like to play, please arrive at 4:20pm and we’ll find you a game so you don’t miss out! 😉

Development Girls – 5:10pm
Numbers will also be reduced due to players being away for rep. For those still available, we’ll run either a scrimmage match or 3v3 games at 5:10pm so everyone can still get on court.

Sparks Silver v U12 Bulls
This game will be recorded as a forfeit win to Sparks Silver, as the U12 Bulls will be competing in Rockhampton.

U14 Bulls
The U14 Bulls game has been moved to 6:50pm.

Please check Basketball Connect for your updated game times before Friday night.
