Age groups will be U12 Boys, U13 Boys, U14 Boys, U15 Boys, U16 Boys, U13/14 Girls and U15/16 Girls.
The primary function of the FQ Community Cup is talent identification for players not currently inside the advanced player pathway.
Trial information is available in the attached letter below. Fees to participate in the FQSW Teams is $400.00. This fee includes quality Coaching, Nomination fees, team photo, Hire of training fields, Admin costs. Cost to purchase uniforms is separate.
This is a fantastic opportunity for all our players to attend a State Championship carnival, as we will be participating against various other Zone Representative teams from throughout Queensland.

Gold Coast Cup Tournament
With the introduction of the FQ Community Cup, it has been decided that we will no longer be taking Zone representative teams to the Gold Coast Cup. Clubs are welcome to take their own teams to participate in this tournament.
Whilst for the last 5-6 years this has been a great tournament to attend, many teams felt disadvantaged as the majority of teams competing at the GC Cup have been playing together as a team for the entire season in high level local competitions with our teams slightly disadvantaged with only 8-10 weeks training.
