Queensland's stars of tomorrow

The YouFor2032 Talent Identification Program, designed by QAS, is looking for Queensland’s next top athletes with natural sporting ability and a performance mindset to take their Olympic and Paralympic ambitions all the way. Across 2 years, thousands of young Queenslanders will be tested and assessed for their medal-winning potential through a statewide search for future elite athletes with untapped aptitude to win at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
