Background: Football for athletes with cerebral palsy (CP) also involves the functional classification of players based upon the degree and form of the athlete’s physical functionality. The aims of the cross-sectional study were: (a) to evaluate the validity of the side-stepping jump and split jump tests in CP football athletes and; (b) to analyse the differences in this ability between current functional classes; Methods: 60 Brazilian elite CP football athletes participated in this study. Each participant was eligible by the International Federation of Cerebral Palsy Football classes as: FT1, FT2 and FT3. In a test-retest design, the athletes performed the side-stepping jump and the split jump twice per session and were assessed by three different evaluators; Results: Both side-stepping and split jumps tests presented excellent objectivity, reproducibility and internal consistency with correlation values ranging from .83 to .96 (p<.001). The one-way ANOVA evidenced differences among the Classification groups for both tests: split jump (p= .019) and side-stepping jump (p= .004); Conclusions: These tests can be used in the new functional classification, contributing to an evidence-based classification of football for athletes with cerebral palsy.
