In order to participate in the Boys and Girls 18's division a player must have an IPIN number. Players in the 16's are not required to obtain an IPIN. Juniors can now register at ipin.itftennis.com for their own unique International Player Identification Number (IPIN). All players entering 2009 ITF Junior Circuit tournaments need a Junior IPIN. The registration process is extremely simple and involves following a set of instructions and paying a small fee of US$20. IPIN provides another link between ITF junior and professional tennis, supporting the philosophy that the ITF Junior Circuit is also the stepping-stone to the professional game. When a junior player registers for IPIN Membership, that player will retain and use the same IPIN when he/she graduates to playing in ITF Pro Circuit tournaments. Junior IPIN Membership includes: · Access to Code of Conduct record · Online management of player profile · Direct updates regarding calendar changes · Direct updates regarding rule changes · Anti Doping Advisory documents · Links to the ITF Junior Tennis Online School Please visit www.itftennis.com/IPIN. For any questions relating to Junior IPIN Membership please contact James Harrisson (James.Harrisson@itftennis.com) in the ITF Juniors department: more info
