There's been a couple of announcements recently from scottishathletics and UKA regarding rules for next season.

Age Groups

The scottishathletics pilot of the IAAF age groups (U12/U14/U16/U18/U20) will end on 31 March 2014.

From 1 April, all scottishathletics events will revert to the U11/U13/U15/U17/U20 age groups so there will be consistency across championships, leagues and open meetings.
