26 October 2010 - 1st Conference for International Archery Classifiers

1st Conference for International Archery Classifiers Lausanne – 26 October 2010   To start the process to come to a classification structure the Para-Archery Committee decided to organise a conference for international classifiers in conjunction with the European Para-Archery Championships. All international classifiers were invited to participate in the discussion that was held on 7 August 2010 in Vichy, France.   FITA Para-Archery envisions a developed and sustainable archery sport system from national development to international competition, providing opportunities for all persons with a physical disability (including visual impairment) to participate in the sport of archery.   One of the priorities set by the Para-Archery Committee is to establish standards and framework for education, training, accreditation and certification of classifiers by FITA in compliance with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Classification Code. The structure to be developed for classification should achieve long term sustainability and credibility within the FITA organisation.   Ø Read the complete Conference Report     Para-Archery Committee World Archery Communication
