Your Result
This tool provides general safety guidance for parents and guardians. It is not a substitute for advice from your child's doctor, a qualified coach, or the sport's governing body. Children develop at different rates, so age recommendations are guidelines only. If your child has any health conditions, injuries, or special needs, consult their GP before they participate in a new sport. Always ensure your child is supervised by qualified, DBS-checked coaches.
