Football 7-a-side

5-a-side football is for vision-impaired athletes. All competitors wear eyeshades to account for varying levels of sight, except for the goalkeeper who may be sighted. 7-a-side football is for cerebral palsy sufferers. Athletes who classify as C5-C8 can take part in this sport, with C5 being most disabled. At least one C5 or C6 player, and no more than three C8 players, may be on the field at a given time.

The following is the United States squad in the football 7-a-side tournament of the 2012 Summer Paralympics.[1]

Wheelchair basketball

The United States have qualified one men's team and one women's team in wheelchair basketball through their results at the 2010 Wheelchair Basketball World Championship.[4][5] Competing athletes are given eight-level classification points specific to wheelchair basketball, ranging from 0.5 to 4.5 with lower numbers representing a higher degree of disability. The sum of the classification points of all players on the court cannot exceed 14.[6]
