Young people aged between 12-28 have the chance to be 'talent-spotted' as an elite athlete of the future by visiting Rockhampton Showgrounds on Tuesday, May 19.

CQUniversity* will conduct sessions at 11am and 1pm in conjunction with the Australian Sports Commission's National Talent Identification and Development (NTID) program.

Anyone who demonstrates above average potential in the tests may be invited to participate in the NTID program.
