Qld Maroons' camp shifted to Brisbane
Queensland coach Kevin Walters has continued to make sweeping changes for 2019, confirming the Maroons camp will be relocated from the Gold Coast to Brisbane.
www.sbs.com.auHere’s a quick update on Queensland Origin camp news based on recent reporting:
- Under-18 Emerging Origin Camp in Queensland continues to be a key pathway program. Teams select about 30 top prospects from across the state to train, develop, and be evaluated for future Queensland pathways, including potential move to Under-19s and higher honours.[1]
- The camp typically features former Origin players and high-performance staff delivering skill development, education, and exposure to the Origin environment, aiming to fast-track athletes toward higher representative honours.[1]
- Historical context shows regular “Emerging Origin” camps and related sessions have been used since at least the mid-2010s to identify and nurture young talent in Queensland’s system.[3]
Notes:
