WHEELCHAIR RUGBY
OVERVIEW
Wheelchair Rugby is a mixed team sport for male and female athletes. It combines elements of many sports, including basketball, rugby and ice hockey. Players compete in teams of four to carry a ball across the opposing team's goal line. Full contact between wheelchairs is an integral part of the sport as players use their chairs to block and hold opponents. To be eligible to play, athletes must have some loss of function in at least 3 limbs.
SESSIONS
Canterbury Wheelchair Rugby offer two training sessions per week during the winter season (March - October) and can offer new players advice on accessing equipment such as rugby wheelchairs, gloves and straps.
