🏅 Our Sports Programs

The Bihar Para Sports Association (BPSA) is committed to identifying, developing, and promoting a wide range of Para Sports disciplines for athletes with disabilities across Bihar. These are categorized in accordance with the Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) standards.

We currently support and develop three core sports categories:

🟡 1. Summer Para Sports

These are the most active disciplines under BPSA and are aligned with IPC Summer Games. Summer sports training is conducted year-round in partnership with our district and regional units. The following disciplines are in active training or introductory stages:

  • Para Athletics (Track & Field)
  • Powerlifting
  • Para Badminton
  • Table Tennis
  • Archery
  • Para Swimming
  • Shooting Para Sport
  • Wheelchair Fencing
  • Boccia
  • Judo
  • Para Canoe (Emerging Discipline)

🔵 2. Team Para Sports

Team sports are crucial to promoting inclusion, teamwork, and collective performance among para-athletes. BPSA supports the development of accessible team-based sports through structured competitions and state trials.

  • Wheelchair Basketball
  • Goalball
  • Sitting Volleyball
  • Football 5-a-side (Blind)
  • Wheelchair Cricket (in collaboration with other bodies)
  • Unified Sports (Mixed-ability teams)

⚪ 3. Winter Para Sports (Under Development Phase)

Bihar's geographic and climatic conditions present challenges for winter sports training. However, under the guidance of PCI and in collaboration with winter sports bodies, BPSA is exploring winter disciplines in adapted indoor formats and training camps outside the state.

  • Para Ice Hockey
  • Snowboarding (Simulated Training)
  • Alpine Skiing (Athlete Identification in progress)

Note: These are currently in the developmental phase. Interested athletes are encouraged to contact the state secretariat for updates.

🚀 Our Commitment

  • Establish sport-specific training centers across all districts
  • Train and certify coaches in each discipline
  • Promote district-level and inter-district competitions
  • Collaborate with national federations for sport expansion
  • Ensure compliance with IPC classification and safety standards
