Retrospective survey assesses the impact of relative age effect on performance in youth women's basketball, suggesting biases in talent selection.

The study indicates a significant overrepresentation of players born in the first quarter across all age categories.
In the U14 category, players born in Q1 were nearly four times more likely to be selected than those in Q4.
Statistical analysis using chi-square tests and Kruskal-Wallis H tests confirmed the relative age effect's impact on performance.
Results highlight the need for interventions to promote equitable competition opportunities for youth athletes.
