The U14 tournament was also won by Erzurum Gençlik Spor, which defeated Ankara in the final. The calendar for the league was set to be:
* January 27-29 in Erzurum - U14 and senior competition
* March 23-25 in Erzurum - U16 and senior competition
* April 27-29 in Georgia - U16 and senior competition
* May 4-6 in Georgia - U14 and senior competition It is unknown if the latter three tournaments were played as no records of them having taken place exist. Armenia was invited to watch the first tournament and were deemed likely to play in the second.
