The AAU Athletics Program is comprised of nine (9) age divisions. The athlete's YEAR OF BIRTH shall determine the appropriate age division for current year competition for all age divisions 8 & under through 15-16 year old.
The minimum age for PWC Panthers athletes is six (6) years old. Therefore, the maximum year of birth for athletes is 2016.
The DATE OF BIRTH shall be used to determine the appropriate age division for the 17-18 age divisions thus assuring that any athlete that DOES NOT turn 19 before the last day of the National Championship competition is still eligible to compete. Athletes MUST NOT turn 19 before the final day of the National Championship Competition.
ALL AGES ARE AS OF DECEMBER 31 OF THE CURRENT YEAR
Competitors in the 6-8, 9-10 and 11-12 age divisions MAY compete in MAXIMUM of (3) events per track meet, including relays.
Competitors in the 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 age divisions MAY compete in MAXIMUM of (4) events per track meet, including relays.
The Coach(es), NOT PARENTS, will select the events the athlete will compete in. This decision includes both groups.
Combined events are NOT included in this event, i.e. Triathlon, Pentathlon, Heptathlon, Decathlon
