Athlete Classification

To be eligible, athletes must have a permanent disability and provide appropriate medical evidence. 

​

Classification is based not only on the type of disability, but also how it impacts the athlete's ability to compete. As a result, athletes with the same condition may be placed in different classification categories. All athletes are assessed and assigned to the most appropriate category by an independent, medically trained classifier. 

​

Classifications may be reviewed or changed as needed.

​

We are proud to partner with GB Disabled Strength to provide athletes with a clear and accessible pathway through the official classification process. This partnership ensures that all competitors are fairly assessed and placed in the appropriate divisions to compete at their highest level.

Any athlete wishing to undergo classification is encouraged to begin the process by filing in the form through GB Disabled Strength.
