Classification
We have worked diligently to create our own classification system. This system has been developed by medical and university personnel specializing in adaptive fitness together with Mandy and Sybille from CrossFit Iron Sparks. All athletes will be required to complete a detailed form about their impairment preferably filled out by doctors and/or physios, upon which our Adaptive Nationals Team will evaluate the files and decide which division is the most appropriate for each athlete.
