minor


Explanation:
I am not sure what sport you are working on... but I vaguely remember when I played hockey at school... we had 3 categories... minors which was up to 13, juniors up to 16 and senior were over 16...
Don't know if this is of any help at all... as even in different sports ther term junior etc has slightly different groupings...
