On 1st April the age groups for young athletes will change in accordance with the incoming UKA Rules. There will no longer be odd age groups, the new competitive age groups will be:
Under 14s, Under 16s, Under 18s, Under 20s and Seniors.
Under 10 and Under 12 age groups will also be created – but these age groups sit outside UKA Rules, although competition opportunities will be made available for them.
The operative date for a young athlete will be their age on the 31st August. Therefore an athlete who is 12 on the 31st August will be in the Under 14 age group.

The club has already modified its training groups in readiness for the changes and the new age groups will be applied when membership automatically renews on 1st April.
