Participation & Categories • Eligibility: Participation in IPSF competitions is strictly limited to members of Syro-Malabar Churches in the Texas–Oklahoma region. For team events, all players must belong to the parish they represent. For individual events, each participant must be a member of the competing parish. This restriction does not apply to coaches or non-competing officials. • Team Representation: Each parish may field only one team per category in team events. For individual events, only one participant per category from each parish is allowed. • Age and Grade Criteria: Competitions will be held across 12 categories. Age will be determined as of August 1, 2026, and school grade will correspond to the 2025–26 academic year. This ensures that all selection processes are completed in time. Participants who have graduated 12th grade but are under 19 years of age as of August 1, 2026, may compete in the Youth Category. • Categories: IPSF 2026 will feature six age-based categories, each for males and females.
