Become a Classifier

Classifying in the exciting game of Wheelchair Rugby is not only fun, but it’s also rewarding. We are always looking for classifiers to officiate at all levels.

No previous experience in wheelchair rugby? No problem! Many classifiers come from a background in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Medicine and some with a Kinesiology background who have worked in Rehab or a Sports Medicine setting. Even if you’ve never worked in a sport setting before, we can help you learn to become a classifier. We strongly recommend having a foundation in Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) and some knowledge of neuromuscular conditions such as Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), Charcot-Mary-Tooth (CMT), Post-Polio Syndrome (PPS) to name a few.
