From the commencement of the 2018/2019 competition season, Little Athletics across Australia is changing the date on which it determines its age groups, to 31st December.
This has direct implications for athletes who are born between 1st October to 31st December as they will bypass an age group for the upcoming season. For example, an U10 in the 2017/18 season will miss U11’s, and be an U12 in the 2018/19 season.
Athletes born between 1st January to 30th September will NOT be affected.
Please visit the following link for a summary of everything you need to know, and information about how these changes may affect you during the upcoming season – www.salaa.org.au/Athletes/Age-Group-Changes-18-19.
