Rygbi Gogledd Cymru RGC Wheelchair Rugby Just to tell you a bit about ourselves. We were established as a charity in 2016. We are a sports club for people with disabilites to play wheelchair rugby. Wheelchair Rugby combines elements of basketball, rugby, and ice hockey. Players compete in teams of four to carry a ball across the opposing team's goal line. Contact between wheelchairs is permited and is in fact an integral part of the sport as players use their chairs to block and hold opponents. Wheelchair rugby players compete in manual wheelchairs specifcally designed for the sport. Wheelchair Rugby is a Paralympic sport, with over twenty -six countries competng in internatonal competton. Great Britain managed to secure the gold medal in the Tokoyo Paralympics. To be eligible to play Wheelchair Rugby (Paralympic) individuals must have a disability which afects the arms and legs.
