The event was open for athletes from the invited countries, that are members of the Central American and Caribbean Athletic Confederation (CACAC), in two categories: Junior A Category: 17 to 19 years as of 31 December 2010 (Born between 1991 and 1993), and Junior B Category: 14 to 16 years as of 31 December 2010 (Born between 1994 and 1996).[1] By IAAF standards, Junior A is equal to Junior, while Junior B is equal to Youth.
