Applications for age banding for the male and female youth game are now open.
The age banding policies are in place to help reduce the risk of physical mismatches at key development stages, where rates of physical maturity and skill level can differ significantly between player to player.
The process remains the same as last year, with applications being submitted via SCRUMS.
More information on age banding, the policies, application process and useful FAQs can be found here.
