RISE: Elite Youth Divisions

The Rise Elite Youth Division is an open-rank, open-age category for youth athletes aged 4–15, matched by weight only.

This division is designed for top-performing youth athletes pursuing the RISE Elite Youth Title awarded annually at AVA THRONE.

At the end of each season, the #1 ranked athlete in each category (Male Gi, Female Gi, Male No-Gi, Female No-Gi) will be invited to compete for the RISE Title. AVA will work down the rankings to confirm a matched opponent.

Titles are not defended, they are earned anew each year.
