On behalf of the Brisbane Capitals Performance Program, I am pleased to invite your child to attend the Brisbane Capitals “Mini Caps” Player Learning & Development Program for 2022.

Sessions are conducted on Tuesday (girls) and Thursday (boys) afternoons at Auchenflower Stadium – see program calendar below.

There is a cost of $120.00 for the entire six (6) week schedule (or $25.00 per individual session). This cost includes:
Spots are limited to 30 positions on a first in best-dressed basis.
WHAT IS THE “MINI CAPS” PROGRAM?
The Brisbane Capitals “Mini Caps” Program is a player learning and development initiative of Brisbane Basketball Inc. delivered through the Brisbane Capitals Performance Program - Academy. The program is targeted at Brisbane Basketball Inc. club players born 2011 - 2013 with an aim of introducing players in the Under 11 Club age group to the Brisbane Capitals Performance Program - U12 Representative Team Syllabus.
The Vision of the “Mini Caps” Program is to introduce and develop each players’ basketball skills in a forum that allows each young player to experience success while learning fundamental basketball skills and concepts in a controlled competitive development environment. With a stage-of-development approach and emphasis on positive youth development, we work with our program coaches to tailor sessions to challenge each player, catering for experienced and skillful top aged players or a young beginner player.
Delivery of the program, under the Brisbane Capitals Performance Program banner, entails a robust Sports Program approach including:
COMMITMENT
Every effort is made to prevent calendar clashes with most association and school events. However, the nature of the program does not preclude the odd clash, or the necessity to prioritise player needs.
IMPORTANT
Selection to a Brisbane Capitals Junior Performance Program – Academy does not guarantee selection to a Brisbane Capitals Junior Performance Program – Representative Team. Nor does non-selection to an Academy preclude a player from selection to a Representative Team.
