I think some do this for the ladder competition, but as far as the freestyle, I don’t think so. I suppose as more yoyo’ers get older, there might be a “senior division”. It would be interesting to see Hiroyuki Suzuki slowed down to “mortal” speed! ---

Age groups are only specific in Sports Ladder. Freestyle is game for anyone. ---

I have competed since i was 34 cal states, socal, Nationals. I dont think there is an age limit on freestyle competions. Sports ladders are broken up in age groups. Everyone competes together, but when it come to the awards they get divided by age groups.
