Wheelchair Football Classification Process
Classification Process
Classification is a process for grouping players into sport classes to ensure that ability versus disability determines which player and team succeeds on the field. All athletes who wish to compete under a class 1.0-4.0 in the USA Wheelchair Football League (USAWFL) should go through the classification process.
As of 2020, Move United serves as the leader for the sport of wheelchair football in the United States and only classifications authorized through Move United will be considered eligible classifications for the USAWFL. Classification must follow the procedures
outlined in the manual linked on these pages.
It is the responsibility of players, coaches, team support personnel and classification personnel to read through and understand the requirements of the classification rules prior to attending a Move United sanctioned event and classification panel.
