Bio-banding Widget

The bio-banding widget, developed from research by the University of Bath, can assess how much growth a child still has ahead of them.


Grouping young athletes based on their biological maturity rather than their chronological age helps to eliminate the imbalances often seen in children's development, similar to the David and Goliath phenomenon.


This approach, known as "bio-banding," creates a more level playing field, making sports more enjoyable for everyone. It also reduces the risk of injury and encourages teams to cultivate future talent.
