BROWNS Plains Mets Rugby Union club members will have access to resources and facilities at Browns Plains State High School as part of a state government program.
Under the Activate! Queensland program, school ovals, courts and halls will be opened up for sports and recreation clubs.
Sports Minister Mick de Brenni said the 10-year program would ensure sporting clubs had access to better resources.
"We're going to break down one of the biggest barriers to getting active through the opt-in $12 million Community Use of Schools program which will commence upgrades of school facilities for participating schools and clubs," he said.
Woodridge MP Cameron Dick said the Browns Plains partnership was one of the first four pilots in Queensland.
"There is clear evidence that involvement in sport provides more positive avenues for our young people," he said.
"Opening up the sporting and recreational facilities at Browns Plains State High School will extend the reach of the state's infrastructure investment to benefit more people in our community.
"For some kids, there are significant barriers that make getting active quite challenging."
Shailer Park State High School will also partner with the Logan Thunder Basketball Association as part of the program.
Education Minister Grace Grace said 40 school and community coordinators would be appointed to ensure the program runs smoothly.
"These coordinators will reduce the burden on the school system by coordinating the use of school facilities by community organisations...," she said.
"We have some world-class sporting facilities at our Queensland schools so it's great that other groups in the community will be able to make use of them."
