Para Wheelchair Basketball
National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) Classification:
Classification is the foundational structure of wheelchair basketball, ensuring fair and equitable competition by grouping athletes based on their functional physical capacity rather than their skill level. The NWBA uses an international scoring system that evaluates an athlete's trunk movement, sitting balance, and hand function while executing basketball-specific movements like pushing, passing, shooting, and rebounding.
