Qualification

edit

A total of 10 teams will participate in each gender. Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) can enter a maximum of 2 teams of 9 athletes, 1 per each gender. Each of the five continents hosted a qualification tournament where the top two teams qualified. As hosts, China chose to compete in the girls' tournament and therefore took one of the two available Asian spots.[2]

To be eligible to participate at the Youth Olympics, athletes must have been born between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 1999.[2]
