Wheelchair rugby is a team sport played by people with a physical disability. It is a contact sport and physical contact between rugby chairs is an integral part of the game. Wheelchair Rugby is the fastest, most physically intense and action-packed Paralympic sport you’ll ever watch!! We need to continue meeting the needs of disabled people in local communities to ensure that they really do get the best out of life, both now and in the future.
