Barangay Ginebra, Magnolia, Meralco, Blackwater, Converge and NLEX are competing in the 13U division while San Miguel, Talk 'N Text, NorthPort, Phoenix, Terrafirma and Rain or Shine are seeing action in the 15 U.
The Batang Gin Kings, Batang Hotshots and Batang Bolts are bunched in Group A while the Batang Bossing, Batang FiberXers and the Batang Road Warriors comprise Group B.
The tournament will be a single-round robin with the top two teams in their respective groups advancing to the knockout semifinals.
The Batang Pier, Batang Fuel Masters and Batang Dyip are in Group A of the 15U division while in Group B are the Batang Elasto Painters, Batang Beermen and Batang Tropang 5G.
Converge ruled the 15U division last year with a 91-83 win over Phoenix while TNT emerged as the champion in the 13U division after trouncing Blackwater, 92-66.
The 15U and 13U divisions complete the four age-group brackets of this year's Batang PBA following the success of the 11U and 9U divisions last month.
Rain or Shine stunned erstwhile unbeaten San Miguel, 75-70, to steal the U11 crown while Blackwater completed a perfect campaign with a thrilling 59-58 win over Converge for the 9U crown.
