Wheelchair rugby is a full-blooded sport for tetraplegics – those whose disabilities affect both their lower and upper limbs.
The rules do not resemble able-bodied rugby, but instead have been tailored to ensure that the game has all the tactics, speed and agility that the name ‘rugby’ conjures up. Wheelchair rugby became a full Paralympic sport at Sydney in 2000 and it is without question the fastest-growing wheelchair sport in the world today.
The GB Elite team claimed 5th place at Sydney and 4th in Athens 2004 and are currently ranked 4th in the world and No1 in Europe.
Wheelchair rugby is the only team sport for tetraplegics. and offers players both rehabilitation, health and social benefits as well as significant opportunities for athletic achievement at both national and international levels.
