To be allocated a Sport Class and Sport Class Status in Para sport, an athlete must: 

1. Have an Underlying Health Condition that leads to an Eligible Impairment. It is the responsibility of each International Federation to decide which Eligible Impairments they include in their sport. To be considered eligible, an athlete will be requested to provide Diagnostic Information about their health condition as part of the Classification process. 
   
   
2. Meet the Minimum Impairment Criteria (MIC) within the relevant sport related to that Eligible Impairment. MIC set the minimum level of impairment that impact the activities required for the sport. Therefore, MIC are also specific to each Para sport. 

If you wish to compete in Para sport, and interested to find out more about eligibility, you can contact your National Paralympic Committee (NPC) or National Federation as a first step. Useful information may also be available from International Federations.
