AGE GROUPS - The USAG JO Men's Rules & Policies 2004-2008 Age Group Competition Table is what was used to calculate these groups. (If you use the link just mentioned, you will need to scroll down to find the table.) These pages were created because I thought it might be fun to see how the boys are broken down by age groups. As in any sport, it's nice to know who you are competing against. That is somewhat possible with the age group lists. Obviously not ALL the boys will be on this list (only those that are submitted can be listed), but a lot of them are listed. Even though I don't know the exact meets that the various gyms are going to, each list shows who will be competing against whom when they do end up at the same meet. (Remember that in some of the competitions the boys go to these groups may be slightly different depending on the number of competitors.) You can access the Age Group lists from the individual state's links.
If you don't have time to go to the USAG link above and scroll down, here is the table you will find at the above link.
