AAA STANDARDS SCHEME explained

This Association will for the 2009 & 2010 Seasons, use the COMMON STANDARDS SCHEME incorporating the revisions referred to
above. All the applicable Standards are listed in the following pages. Badges will be available for the FOUR Grades in the UNDER
17, UNDER 15 and UNDER 13 AGE GROUPS and THREE Grades in the UNDER 20 AGE GROUP, as defined by UK Athletic Rules.

The performance to be recognised must be achieved in the actual category of competition at 1) National, Territorial and County Championships: 2) at all Young Athletes and other League competitions, Open Meetings and Inter-Club Trophy Meetings; 3) at other approved meetings: and 4) at ESAA National, Regional and County Championships.

The Scheme is co-ordinated by the Territorial Associations from whom Certificates and or Badges are available. The Certificates,
issued free, give details of addresses from which Athletes may obtain Badges at a cost of £2.00 PLUS SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE for return of Badge. Clubs are encouraged to make bulk applications for their athletes.
1. The Standards set for ALL FIELD EVENTS in EACH AGE GROUP are based on the use of the implement weights and specifications as detailed under UK Athletic Rules. Standards are not set for the use of ‘under’ or ‘over’ weight implements. Similarly Standards for Hurdle/Steeplechase Events are based on the use of Hurdles/Barriers to the heights and spacings as defined by UK Athletic Rules.
2. Standards may be obtained for ALL Indoor Events additional to the 60 metres and 60m Hurdles using the relevant Tables.
3. Standards may be obtained in each or every single event contained within any Multi-Event competition.
4. Although Standards are listed for SENIORS it is NOT the intention to make BADGES available for this Age Group. They are included for use by Leagues etc.
