Welcome to WWR – the official governing body of wheelchair rugby. Wheelchair rugby is not your typical Para sport. It’s a high impact, competitive, contact sport that is not for the faint of heart.
What is Wheelchair Rugby?
Wheelchair Rugby is a team sport for athletes of any gender with an impairment. It is an invasion and evasion sport with the object being to carry the ball across the opposing team’s try line. It involves full contact between the chairs. Of course, it’s not quite as simple as that! Watch our videos to see the thrills and spills of the sport.
