Para badminton, a sport played in numerous countries, made its debut in the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Exciting times lie ahead for Para Badminton WA as they actively promote the sport, inviting individuals with various disabilities to join in the fun on both social and competitive levels. For those with a strong desire to succeed, there is now an incredible opportunity to compete for Australia in future Paralympic Games.
Like regular badminton, Para badminton athletes compete in men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles. To ensure fairness in competition, athletes are classified into "Sport Classes." This classification system considers how their physical impairment affects their performance as a badminton player, creating an inclusive and level playing field for all.
The journey to becoming a Para badminton athlete involves a medical examination and showcasing badminton skills to the classifiers. This process helps determine the most appropriate Sport Class for each athlete. With six Sport Classes in Para badminton, every player finds a place where they can truly shine.
Para Badminton WA envisions "One Sport, One Team," where athletes, regardless of their abilities, come together to celebrate the spirit of sportsmanship and competition. It's not just about winning medals; it's about forging friendships, setting personal goals, and cherishing the journey.
