Junior Age Groups
Effective from season 2022
As per a memo from AFL Canberra....
AFL Canberra has introduced an U16’s competition for season 2022 and removed the U17’s competition. These have been done to remove the double to single age progression. This transition means the competitions will now align with school ages at all levels, which is inline with the National Junior Match Policy. This alignment can allow for a streamlined process into senior football through Rising Stars football.
The below table indicates the new Competition structure for AFL Canberra Juniors in 2022 and beyond.
Mixed/Boys Youth Girls
U9 – Auskick Pro U10 – Girls
U10 – Mixed U12 – Girls
U11 – Mixed U14 – Girls
U12 – Mixed U16 – Girls
U13 – Mixed Rising Stars Women / U18 Girls
U14 – Mixed
U15 – Boys
U16 – Boys
Rising Stars Men’s / U18 Boys
These changes have been done to align with the National Junior Match Policy and to create consistency across all competitions in NSW/ACT and Australia more broadly.
