Classifications

CPISRA athletes compete within classification ranges. The classification system ensures an even playing ground for athletes to compete against others with similar abilities. Ambulant athletes with cerebral palsy classes 5, 6, 7 and 8 can participate in Football 7-A-Side.

Classification is based on the athlete's functional profile and the impact of their profile on sport performance to ensure fair competition. New athletes who have never been classified are classified 1-2 days prior to a sanctioned competition.
