We want to enable the sport to grow at all levels, grass roots, seniors, juniors and elite, by providing more opportunities for athletes to develop their full potential. Disability classification is the method used throughout the Paralympics movement to create and administer equitable athletic competitions. The mission of Paralympics sports is to be as inclusive as possible regarding athletes who possess one of a broad range of physical and intellectual disabilities. It is the equity of the classification process that is an asset of the Paralympics movement, which seeks to promote elite athletic performance within an ever-expanding range of events.
