DEF

[Grouping] athletes on the basis of attributes associated with growth and maturation rather than chronological age.

CONT

[Clubs] agreed that bio-banding, where players are grouped according to their biological age, not their chronological age or size, deepened their understanding of recruitment and retention of ... players.

CONT

What we witness within bio-banding is the reduction of "violent swings of maturity difference [found] within the chronological system," where an early developer within an academy's Under-13s can physically resemble a 16-year-old and be playing against a later-maturing 12-year-old player who might physically appear to be of primary-school age.
