Classification education is an ongoing function of the Paralympic Division of the USOC � both the education and training of classifiers and sharing of information with coaches, athletes, program managers and the like. Coaches and Program Managers who gain a better understanding of the general premises of Paralympic sport classification are often better equipped to coach, teach and support their athletes more effectively due to a greater understanding of the impairment, better knowledge of the overall classification process and procedures, and ability to understand basic medical data to evaluate what the athlete truly can and cannot do in a sport setting.
