The age groups for athletics are different to those used for many other sports. The youngest age that can participate in competitions is U9. This age group is for those born in 2009. Anyone born after 2009 are too young for competitions.
Here is a list to help you understand what age group your child is in:-
U9 Born in 2009
U10 Born in 2008
U11 Born in 2007
U12 Born in 2006
U13 Born in 2005
U14 Born in 2004
U15 Born in 2003
Your child can participate in their own age group and in the age group just above it e.g. U9’s can participate in their own age group and in U10 competitions also.
