Rugby Selection Procedures
The process by which athletes qualify for U.S. teams to major international competitions, such as World Championships and the Paralympic Games, is generally posted 12-18 months before the competition. U.S. Paralympics or the relevant national governing body may use other methods, including invitation, to select teams to other international competitions. From this page, you can either click to view selection procedures for upcoming major international competitions, or download a copy onto your computer. Selection procedures are in PDF format. If you require selection procedures in an alternative format, please contact Paralympic.info@usoc.org.
