AAA Common Standards

In Athletics the Amateur Athletics Association of England (AAA) has developed a series of "Standards" by event, age group and gender which are used as a guide to a Young Athlete's performance.  They are also used to give an indication of the progression and improvement of the performance of an Athlete.

. The Standards are known as "Common Standards" or the "AAA's Standards" or, more commonly, as "Grades".  The AAA have a system of awarding Certificates and Badges (Badges have to be purchased, whereas Certificates are free) according to these standards.

Quite often, you will see advertised an "Open Graded" meeting which might indicate that the Organisers will give out Grading Certificates on request.
