IMPORTANT AGE GROUP CHANGES NEXT YEAR
As from 1 April 2026 new age groups come into effect for all competitions except schools comps.
U13, U15, U17, U20 age groups will become U12, U14, U16, U18, U20, except for schools comps which will continue with current age groups until September 2026.
EA and ESSA will use the same categories from Sept 26 but will be different between April and Sept 26.
This will create a challenging 2026 Track & Field season for hurdlers, throwers & multi-eventers.
