* Children who are turning 5 years old this year may play in the Under 6’s.
  

• No player should play in an age group more than two (2) years higher than they are qualified for, unless the Competitions Department has granted dispensation.
• Please note, the Relative Age Effect (RAE) rule is no longer valid. The only reason a player can apply for special dispensation to play down an age group is that they have a medical condition affecting strength, stamina or physique and the condition places them in an increased health risk if they play in their expected age group.
