Para Pickleball Classification, governed by the International Para Pickleball Association (IPPA), ensures fair and equitable competition for athletes with physical impairments. The system groups players based on the impact of their impairment on on-court performance rather than medical diagnosis, minimizing the effect of disability on the outcome of the game.

Classification follows internationally recognized standards, combining functional assessment, observation, and standardized testing. By assigning athletes to appropriate classes, IPPA promotes fairness, inclusivity, and high-level competition, enabling skill, strategy, and training to determine success.
