At Handball Queensland, we are committed to nurturing talent and providing clear pathways for athletes to progress through the state team system. Our State Teams Pathways are designed to identify, develop, and elevate players, giving them the opportunity to compete at higher levels and represent Queensland on the national stage.

The journey begins with participation in local and regional competitions, where athletes demonstrate their skills and commitment. Promising players are then invited to join state development squads, where they receive specialised training focused on improving technical abilities, tactical understanding, and physical conditioning.

From the development squads, athletes can progress to state representative teams, competing in prestigious tournaments like the Australian National Handball Championship. These events provide invaluable experience against top-tier competition, helping players refine their game and prepare for higher challenges.
Handball Queensland also offers pathways for elite athletes aiming to reach National team selection. Through partnerships with national coaching staff and performance programmes, state team players have the chance to join the ranks of Australia’s best.

Our pathway is supported by experienced coaches, performance analysts, and a network of resources to ensure every athlete reaches their full potential. We are committed to creating an environment where players can thrive, both on and off the court.

Whether you’re an aspiring junior or a seasoned player looking to take the next step, Handball Queensland’s State Teams Pathways provide the guidance and support needed to achieve your goals. For more information on how to get involved, contact us at info@handballqld.com.au
