Many of you may not be aware of the new Advance Youth division that was introduced this year at NER and US National. It’s for players 16 and under who might have podium in sports division or felt like they are ready for Pro but maybe not quite sure. It is scored as Pro 1A Semi final with a 1.5 Min routine. We encourage everyone who is under 16 to challenge themselves with this division.
