To make the U.S. Paralympic Team the athlete will need to have a current World Archery international classification. This will help determine the division in which the athlete is eligible to compete.

The athlete will also need to shoot a minimum qualification standard score for his or her division set by World Archery in the year before the Paralympic Games.

The U.S. Paralympic Archery Team Trials process consists of several selection events. To compete in the Paralympic Trials, a minimum of a national classification is required. Athletes will be awarded points for their performance at each stage of the trials for which they qualify.
