Wheelchair Rugby
Wheelchair rugby is similar to wheelchair basketball, but hold onto your chair!
Wheelchair rugby is a fast-paced, competitive sport. Also called quad rugby, wheelchair rugby is played in more than 25 countries around the world. Teams usually play indoors on a hardwood court. The sport includes elements from wheelchair basketball, hockey and handball. It's a great opportunity to get wild with others with limited function in all four limbs.
