Under 18's Divisions (Kids and Juvenile)
Below are divisions and brief explanations/information for what qualifies for each for under 18's.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
- Full IBJJF Rules can be found here - Books and Videos | IBJJF
- Our event is based on belt level and grappling experience.
- The event is to help all ages and levels gain experience and especially to have fun.
- We will do our best to give under 18 years old competitors two bouts where possible.
*This will not be possible if only 2 enter a division or if injuries/no shows occur and then it is out of our hands.
- **NEW** From 2024, we will be trialling having separate boys and girls divisions for Kids and Juvenile divisions (under 18's divisions), just like our Adult divisions.
*This will be reviewed again leading into the Summer of 2024.
- The parent/guardian/competitor that registers any under 18 competitor MUST make sure they are in the correct weight and experience division prior to the amendments deadline (7 days before any event). If they are not, then they will be DQ'd and cannot move after the deadline and especially not on the day.
- All parents accompanying their children must pay the spectators fee on the day of the competition.
- Unless their allocated coach, no parents are allowed beyond the barrier into the matted area under any circumstances.
- Any aggression or abuse to anyone will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave the event and risk the competitor being DQ'd.
