Badminton Alberta has decided to pilot an under 11 age category at two events this season. The events will be the 2014 Derrick Club Junior held on October 17-19 and the 2015 Calgary Junior scheduled for February 20-22 at C1 in Calgary.

After the pilot is complete we will be doing a detailed analysis to determine if this age category should be included in future Alberta Junior Circuit events. The evaluation will take place in March 2015 and recommendations will be implemented as early as September 2015.

In terms of age eligibility players will be eligible for these two events if there birthday is on or after January 1st, 2005. Players may not turn 11 years of old anytime in 2015.

Players in the under 11 event will receive the same level of service at these two events as the other age categories. Their registration fees will also be the same as the older players.

Please share this information with you clubs, coaches and players.
