RACQ and QAS set to drive next generation of athletes
RACQ is supporting the next generation of aspiring athletes as the presenting partner of the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) YouFor2032 Talent Search from 2025.
Proud to help drive the athlete talent search and YouFor2032 app, RACQ’s support will ensure all Queenslanders, regardless of where they live, have the opportunity to reach their sporting potential.
Providing inclusive and accessible pathways for potential athletes, the YouFor2032 app will use cutting-edge technology to conduct sports testing from anywhere in the State.
If successful, athletes will be matched to their best-suited high-performance sport and connected with elite coaches, expert insights and the support they need to pursue greatness.
RACQ Managing Director and Group CEO David Carter said RACQ is proud to partner with QAS and to deliver on the Club’s purpose to drive a positive future for all Queenslanders.
“Queensland is one of the country’s most decentralised states and the YouFor2032 Talent Search ensures all aspiring athletes, regardless of where they live, have the opportunity to showcase their sporting abilities,” Mr Carter said.
“RACQ is proud to be working with the QAS to support a program which will help enrich the lives of young Queenslanders through inclusive and accessible sporting pathways.”
Mr Carter said RACQ is also honoured to be supporting the industry-leading app, which is the first of its kind to include para-sports.
“With more than 1.7 million members, our Club represents a broad cross-section of the Queensland community, and this helps promote diversity and inclusion which is important to us,” he said.
“It’s an honour to support the first talent search app to include para-sports and help remove barriers for our next generation of athletes.”
Queenslanders with elite sporting dreams aged between 13 and 23, and between 13 and 30 for para-sports are being urged to test their skills via the YouFor2032 app.
QAS General Manager Troy Ayres said the purpose of the app was to uncover Queensland’s backyard heroes.
“We are searching for passionate young Queenslanders who embody the traits of an elite sports champion – speed, power, endurance and strength,” Mr Ayres said.
“With the discovery app, more athletes across more locations will get their chance to realise their dreams of becoming an elite sporting champion.”
In the past three years, the QAS has tested more than 5,700 young athletes across 40 locations including 25 regional centres from Warwick to Emerald, and the Gold Coast to Yarrabah.
Custom built by Queensland AI startup FOME.ai, the app was initiated through the QAS Research and Innovation team.
