Proposed Age group changes :- WEF April 2026
The current age groups – categories in which young athletes currently compete – are to be revised. From April 1, 2026, when young athletes will compete in the following age groups :-
U12 : U14 : U16 : U18 These new age groups will replace the existing U13, U15 and U17 groupings.
The proposed changes will not impact on the Academy approach during the 2025-2026 series. Unfortunately the Academy cannot accommodate U12 category athletes.
Stoke: Indoor area 45m x 35m
In addition to some of the country’s top coaches, all personal coaches will be welcomed and we will attempt to place them with the age-group of their preference
