The Queensland Academy of Sport is looking for talented young South Burnett sportspeople to be part of the Youfor2032 Talent Identification Program in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.

Its Youfor2032 program provides support to young athletes so they can make the very best out of their natural sporting gifts.

Selection means they will receive dedicated development, training, and expert coaching programs in their chosen sport.

The Youfor2032 program will be offering places for the South Burnett’s young sports people very soon.

Sessions will be held at St John’s Lutheran School in Ivy Street, Kingaroy on Wednesday, August 31 at 4:00pm; and at Cherbourg’s Sports Centre in Collins Street, Cherbourg on Thursday, September 1 at 1:30pm and 4:00pm.

Taliqua Clancy, the South Burnett’s Olympic Beach Volleyball silver medallist and twice Commonwealth Games silver medallist will be attending all three sessions.

This Youfor2032 program is strictly for young sports people born between 1999 and 2009 (ie 13 to 23 years old in 2022), and the para-sports program will accept those born between 1992 and 2009 (i.e. 13 to 30 years old in 2022).

Intending participants should arrive to the sessions 15 minutes early, and parents are very welcome as well.

Registration information and further details can be found on the Youfor20232 website
