In June 2026 the ITF rebranded as World Tennis; you will still see “ITF” on many pages and events until 2027. The junior tour is graded J30 (entry level) up to J500 and the junior Grand Slams.

Step by step

  1. Get an IPIN. Every player needs a valid IPIN Juniors membership (ipin.itftennis.com) with an annual fee (it was US$55 in 2024 — check the current amount).
  2. Complete the required World Tennis Academy courses — without them you can’t use the online entry system.
  3. Get a World Tennis Number. In J30 and J60 events, players with a World Tennis Number can be prioritised in entry, so play rated events first.
  4. Enter before the deadline through IPIN — usually about three weeks before the event. You can enter up to three junior events in the same week.
  5. Sign in on time the evening before your draw starts.
