Classification

Classification is undertaken so that athletes can be put into a Sport Class or a group for competition. The classification process allows athletes to be placed in a class to compete in a tournament to compete against each other.

The classification process involves a medical examination and some badminton activities to show the classifiers what badminton movements and shots are easy or more difficult for the athlete.

The BWF Para-Badminton Classification system has the following Sport Classes:

    • Wheelchair Sport Classes – WH 1 and WH 2
    • Standing Sport Classes – SL 3, SL 4 and SU 5
    • Short Stature Sport Class – SH 6
