Age Group change in 2012
FIS entry age will change in 2012. As you may have heard, the entry age for FIS will change from 15 to 16, starting in the 2012/13 season. With this change, the entry age for all other programs will also change. Many have wondered what this means for their athletes, so to help you figure it out we’ve prepared the following table which shows how athletes born in various years will progress through the different programs:
