Birth Certificate (Record) Challenge
In lieu of turning in birth certificates and/or grade exception forms (if applicable) at each tournament, AAU Girls Basketball is instituting the Birth Certificate Challenge system. Approved birth records* and/or grade exception forms (if applicable) must be carried to every game. If the opposing coach challenges the age of any players, the challenged coach must produce the birth certificate of those players before they can play in the game. If challenged players’ birth certificates cannot be produced, they cannot play in that game until they are provided. If birth certificates are produced at any point in the game, they are then eligible to participate. If there are not 5 players eligible to start a game, the game will be declared a forfeit.
Hospital Records are not an acceptable form of birth certification.
*a. A certified copy of birth record from the State, County or Municipal Bureau of Vital Statistics in the
      place of birth
*b. A certified copy of the delayed registration of birth, if the athlete’s birth was not recorded on her
     day of birth, issued by the same governing bodies
