Regionals and ages

I was wondering if there was an age limit for going to regionals in pre-juv. Thanks!

A bond that NO ONE ELSE understands, but that's okay, because every time you get out on the ice it isn't just you; it's all the friends and coaches, all the practices, the pain, the tears, the memories,the laughter, the "off" competitions. It may seem, skating is really a team sport, it's more than just a sport. IT'S A WAY OF LIFE."

Pre-Juv is non-qualifying. Not sure there is an age limit. In reality, though, the bulk of the competitors are going to be 10 and under.

If your region has an Open Juvenile event, though, why not do that if you can pass Juv MIF/FS? Open Juv usually attracts the Juv-level skaters who are past the 13 year old cut off.

For open Juv. singles, you must be no more than 18. For qualifying Intermediate, you must also be no more than 18. Only at the novice level and higher is there no longer an age limit.

Of course, this event is non-qualifying as well.

Just wanted to add that since Pre-Juv is a non-qualifying event, it's not offered at every Regional, every year. It's up to the host club. The on year I know my region planned to offer it, they ran into time constraints and couldn't. If you're dead-set on doing Regionals, I'd plan way in advance to test up and compete Open Juv if necessary.
