HIGHBALL COMPETITION AGE CATEGORIES:
Highball uses the categories set by the IFSC as the basis for all our competitions. Generally, ‘Youths’ (17/18 yr olds) will compete as seniors, and we will also align age categories to the level of the event i.e. we would not have all the younger categories in events aimed at seniors.
