Wheelchair Rugby
Wheelchair "Quad" Rugby is a full contact sport that is played by both men and women who suffer from a permanent disability affecting 3 or 4 extremities. Originating in Winnipeg, Canada, the sport was created by athletes that combines elements from rugby, basketball, and handball. Wheelchair rugby is now an established Paralympic sport, with 28 countries having competed in international competitions and listed on the world ranking list, while more than 10 others are developing national programs.
Wheelchair "Quad" Rugby is a simple game with complex strategies for playing both offense and defense. It is played with a volleyball on a basketball court with coal lines marked by cones and a lined off "key" area (see diagram)
