About
Wheelchair rugby is a fast-paced, full contact team sport for male and female quadriplegics (tetraplegics) looking to get involved in a team sport. It is a contact sport where collisions between wheelchairs form a major part of the game. Wheelchair rugby combines elements of rugby, basketball, and handball.
Men and women compete on the same teams and in the same competitions.
Each team has four players on court and the aim is to score by carrying the ball across the goal line.
Australia is currently ranked no. 1 in the world by the International Rugby Federation.
WSNSW run weekly training’s and bi-monthly local scrimmages called the “Sydney Slam Series”. Local players can also compete nationwide in scrimmages held across Australia.
