A search is currently underway to find the next 30 Barclays Ball Kids at this year’s Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in November.
Last year saw the event take place for the first time at The O2 with Barclays being the title sponsor.
They have created a new initiative which is targeting kids between the age of 12 and 16 to have their chance at being one of the ball kids on court at the event.
All kids need to do is complete an online quiz for their chance to attend one of ten Regional Trials which are being held at the end of February throughout March.
There are 5 steps to becoming a Ball Kid:
1) Find a Barclays Customer or employee
2) Take an online quiz: www.barclaysballkids.com (competition ends 25th February 2010)
3) Get a parent / legal guardian to complete the online application form
4) Attend a Regional Selection Trial
5) If selected from the Regional Trial, battle it out at the National Selection Trial to earn a place as a Barclays Ball Kid
