Decision tree classifier Doubt

1. I want to predict a binary categorical outcome.{play cricket or not}
2. I have 3 features : gender, class, age of students { 2 categorical & 1 continous}
3. When I go for deciding the root node : If it were only gender and class I would find the best split node using entroy or gini.
   However , now I do have age variable ranging from 10 to 20 too.
   So, will my classifer build several bins of ( <11 & >=11 , <12 &>=12… <19 &>=19) and calculate entropy of every bin and then compare the best bin entropy with the entropy of gender and class variables?
