Classification is the cornerstone of wheelchair basketball, ensuring fair and competitive play for athletes with disabilities worldwide. Following the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) classification system, this course will provide participants with a deep understanding of the principles and procedures that govern player classification, fostering inclusivity and integrity in the sport. 

Individuals who complete the course will gain valuable insights into functional classification, a system that promotes fairness and credibility in competition by categorizing players based on their abilities. Classification is not only vital to the sport of wheelchair basketball but also plays a key role in the Paralympic Movement, ensuring meaningful and high-performance competition for athletes with disabilities across the globe.
