Classification ensures fair competition across divisions such as Open (lower limb impairment) and Quad (impairment in multiple limbs). \u00a0Players are classified on a skills basis in the following categories:\u00a0<em>Open \u2013 Elite level players<\/em>\u00a0<em>A, B, C, D \u2013 Graded players<\/em>. There is a separate division for quad players.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Social players can often participate in adapted community events without formal classification.<\/li>\n<li>For details on competitive classification pathways and requirements,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Programs &amp; Partners<\/h3>\n<h6>Wheelchair Sport NSW<\/h6>\n<p>Wheelchair Sports NSW\/ACT supports the growth and accessibility of wheelchair tennis across New South Wales by connecting players with programs, equipment, and competition opportunities.
