AITA

Follow these steps in order. Starting early gives your child a significant advantage — many spots fill fast.

1. 1

   Identify your State Tennis Association — every Indian state has an AITA-affiliated body (e.g. Delhi Tennis Association, Maharashtra State Tennis Association).

2. 2

   Submit the state association membership application with: birth certificate or Aadhaar card, 2 passport-size photographs, medical fitness certificate, and the membership fee (varies by state, typically ₹500–₹2,000/year).

3. 3

   Once accepted, the state association assigns an AITA player number. This number is required for all tournament entries.

4. 4

   Monitor AITA's official tournament calendar (aita.in) for upcoming events. Each tournament publishes a circular with entry deadlines, usually 4–6 weeks before the event.

5. 5

   Submit entries through your State Association's designated contact or the online entry system specified in the tournament circular. The state association validates eligibility before forwarding to the organiser.

6. 6

   Prepare required documents before the tournament: AITA registration card, birth proof, school NOC (for minors), and the specific entry fee payment confirmation.

Prepare these before the tournament entry deadline — missing documents result in rejection.
