Age Group Rule Change
The following rule update has been agreed by the School Working Group and approved by the Competition Advisory Group (ComPAG) for season 2026/27.
This change has been introduced due to differences in academic year structures between schools. As a result, the previous school year group references (e.g. S1, S2) have been replaced with age-based categories (e.g. U13).
