Wheelchair Rugby
What is it?
Rugby is a fast and exciting team sport where players work together to move an oval-shaped ball up the field and score points. Players can run with the ball, pass it backwards to teammates, or kick it forwards to gain distance, while the other team tries to stop them. The main aim of the game is to work together as a team to carry the ball over the opponent’s try line and score a try.
Rugby is all about teamwork, skill, and respect, as every player has an important role in helping their team attack, defend, and support each other. Some players use strength to win the ball and protect their teammates, while others use speed and agility to find space and score points. The sport is played all around the world and is known for its energy, teamwork, and strong sense of sportsmanship, where players respect their teammates, opponents, and the referee.
There are several types of rugby, including contact and non-contact versions.

Walking Rugby
Walking Rugby is an inclusive and enjoyable version of rugby that combines teamwork, skill, strategy, and friendly competition in a slower-paced environment. Players walk rather than run, allowing people of different ages, abilities, and fitness levels to enjoy the game while developing confidence, staying active, and having fun. The game focuses on passing, movement, communication, and decision-making, creating an engaging experience that remains true to the spirit of rugby.
Every player has an important role in both attack and defence, with teams working together to create space, support teammates, maintain possession, and prevent opponents from scoring. Success relies on communication, awareness, teamwork, and tactical thinking rather than speed or physical contact. Players develop rugby skills, improve fitness, build friendships, and gain confidence while participating in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Walking Rugby is enjoyed by people of all ages around the world and is particularly popular with those looking to stay active, return to rugby, or discover the sport for the first time. The game promotes physical wellbeing, social connection, and lifelong participation, demonstrating that rugby can be enjoyed by everyone. If you enjoy teamwork, skill, friendly competition, and staying active, Walking Rugby offers a fun and rewarding way to experience the game.
Tag Rugby
Tag Rugby is a non-contact version of rugby where players wear tags attached to a belt, and instead of tackling, defenders stop play by removing a tag from the ball carrier. Players work together to run, pass, and support teammates as they try to move the oval-shaped ball up the field and score tries over the opponent’s try line. The game focuses on movement, teamwork, quick passing, and creating space, making it a great introduction to rugby skills and game awareness.
Because there is no tackling, Tag Rugby allows players to build confidence while learning many of the core skills used in rugby, including passing backwards, positioning, teamwork, communication, and support play. Speed, agility, and quick reactions are important, as teams try to avoid defenders and keep the ball moving across the field. Every player has opportunities to attack, defend, and become involved in the game.

Beach Rugby
Beach Rugby is a fun and energetic version of rugby played on sand, where players run, pass, dive, and score tries in a fast-moving beach environment. The softer playing surface changes the way the game is played, encouraging quick reactions, teamwork, balance, and agility as players sprint across the sand while carrying the oval-shaped ball towards the try line. Matches are often shorter and played with fewer players, creating open space and nonstop action throughout the game.
The sand makes movement more challenging, meaning players must work hard to stay balanced, support teammates, and defend quickly against attacking players. Speed, fitness, communication, and teamwork are especially important, as teams constantly attack and defend in exciting end-to-end play. Diving tries, quick passing, and creative attacking moves are common, making the game exciting both to play and watch.
Beach Rugby is popular at festivals, summer tournaments, and social events around the world, bringing together the spirit of rugby with a relaxed beach atmosphere. While the environment may feel more casual, the game still encourages strong teamwork, sportsmanship, respect, and determination.

Players must pass the ball backwards to teammates while using speed, teamwork, and quick thinking to break through defensive lines and keep possession.
The game is built around movement, support play, communication, and fast reactions, with every player regularly involved in both attack and defence.
