Selection Trials
A series of selection trials has been organized in 2007 to select only the most outstanding as Singapore’s representatives in the 4th ASEAN Para Games. These selection trials include:
- National Track and Field Championship 2007 (July 2007)
- National Swimming Championship 2007 (August 2007)
- National Disability League 2007 (August to November 2007)
- Athletics Selection Trial (September 2007)
Results in these trials are recorded and compared to the results of previous ASEAN Para Games. Athletes are automatically qualified for the Games if you obtain results similar to or better than the 6th place timing/scores of the previous ASEAN Para Games.
Athletes who have yet to attain such a performance may also be recommended to the Selection Committee for consideration, but however, subjected to an evaluation based on attendance, past performances and potential. You may read more about the selection criteria above.
