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 2024-2025 series and the website will be updated to reflect the changes in the approach to the 2025 – 2026 series.
