Classifiers are sports officials with a medical or sport science background who have completed the required training and certification. They assess athletes to determine their eligibility for Para-sport competition and provide them with a sport class and sport class status at the conclusion of the assessment.
It is essential for a classifier to understand wheelchair basketball or have a strong desire to learn about the sport. There are two types of classifiers:
1. Medical – Currently registered medical professional (Doctor or Physiotherapist). Experience working with physical disabilities is desirable.
2. Technical – Must hold bachelor’s or master’s degree in sport science, kinesiology, human movement science or equivalent including a level of coaching experience.
