PST Calendar
We’re delighted to introduce the official IPSTA Para-Standing Tennis Event Calendar, bringing PST events from around the world into one central, accessible place. The calendar allows players, coaches and organisers to see what’s happening throughout the year, helping grow participation, improve visibility and strengthen the global Para-Standing Tennis community. If you’re running a PST event of your own, submitting it ensures your event is seen, supported and connected to the wider international pathway. Please contact events@parastandingtennis.com for any questions.
Official Events Handbook
Are you interested in hosting an IPSTA event? Our team has produced a helpful Handbook to help get you started, setting out our event standards and guidelines for organisers. Please refer to this document as your starting point for any questions about delivering a successful IPSTA event, and if you are considering bidding to host the World Championships or another World Rankings event.
Age policy
It is crucial that we integrate Junior players carefully and with due consideration for our safeguarding responsibilities. As such, players must be at least 14 years of age to enter IPSTA-sanctioned tournaments (those offering World Ranking Points - marked as IPSTA WORLD, IPSTA 1000, IPSTA 500 in the calendar).
It is vital that all IPSTA-sanctioned events meet high safeguarding standards, especially when including players under the age of 18. As such, IPSTA will be working closely with National Associations, delivery partners, and venues to ensure appropriate policies are in place.
Wherever possible, IPSTA will seek to offer Junior events alongside Senior tournaments. If there are sufficient entries, this may be a dedicated Juniors draw, likely played in Round Robin format with mixed classifications. If there are more limited entries, organisers may offer dedicated coaching or ‘come and try’ sessions. If you are an event organiser, please contact your Regional Lead for support implementing this policy.
