What Does It Mean to Be an IPSF Athlete?
Being an IPSF athlete means much more than simply competing in an event—it means becoming part of an international sporting system.
Within the IPSF, every routine is evaluated according to a unified set of rules and standards. The same judging criteria and technical requirements apply in every member country, meaning that the performance you present at home would be evaluated in exactly the same way at any IPSF competition around the world.
As an IPSF athlete, you:
Train and compete under internationally recognized IPSF rules and regulations.
Are judged by officially certified international judges.
Receive results that are recognized and comparable on an international level.
Have the opportunity to qualify for the IPSF World Championships.
The Hungarian Pole and Aerial Sports Federation (HPASF) is the exclusive representative of the International Pole & Aerial Sports Federation (IPSF) in Hungary.
Following the values and vision of the IPSF, our mission is to promote and develop pole sports and aerial sports, while supporting their recognition and growth as competitive disciplines.
"Sport is not only about individual achievements and personal success, but also about the power of unity and team spirit—forces that move us forward together."
