DIVISIONS:

TAIAO divisions are established for each men’s and women’s varsity team (not junior high) based upon the number of total varsity (this includes JV) athletes registered to attend.  Divisions do not take into account age, skill or any other variable.

Any team in D1 can have athletes participate in the JV Division.  No D2 team can participate in JV per TAIAO rules.  The division breaks this year were set at 15 and below competing in D2.
