Information for Classifiers

Classification Video

This video is presented by the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation.

The classification of wheelchair basketball players has evolved significantly over the past 20 years. No longer is it necessary to individually examine each player in a medical room.  Players are now classified in their playing environment, on the basketball court and in their playing chair. This enables the classifier to assess each player, as they will be when taking part in actual competitions.
