The Age Categories for the national races for 2012 have been published. There is still discussion going on about 2013 and beyond so these categories are for 2012 only. We will be publishing the ERSA age categories for 2012 very shortly.
In answer to several questions I thought I would post an update about the age categories for 2012. ERSA has not published the Summer League categories yet as we are waiting on some guidance from SSE for this season. As many of you know there has been a proposal out with some coaches and officials and the changes would affect the national races. As a result of any changes ERSA will look to follow the same direction. These changes for the national races are still being discussed but we are hoping that we will be notified shortly of the changes.
