What Is Wheelchair Rugby?

Wheelchair rugby combines elements of rugby, basketball, and handball with teams of four competing to carry the ball across the opposing team's goal line. Contact between rugby chairs is permitted and is, in fact, an integral part of the sport as players use their chairs to block and hold opponents.

Most players have spinal cord injuries with full or partial paralysis of the legs and partial paralysis of the arms. Other disability groups who play include cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, amputations, polio, and other neurological conditions.

This program is open to all eligible individuals, ages 12 and older, with a permanent physical disability, which affects both arms and legs.

2024 Practices:

Tuesdays 7-9 PM

  • In session until April 30, 2024
  • Ages 12+ with a physical disability
