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 disabilities 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 permitted 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 specifically designed for the sport. Wheelchair Rugby is a Paralympic sport, with over twenty -six countries competing in international competition. 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 affects the arms and legs. Mostplayers |

| have spinal cord injuries with full or partial paralysis of the legs and partial paralysis of the arms. Other disability groups who play include cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, amputations, polio, and other neurological conditions. Men and women compete on the same teams and in the same competitions. Players are assigned a sport classification based on their level of disability; teams must field 4 players (Paralympic) or 5 players (WR5’S) with a mixture of Classification values, this allows players with different functional abilities to compete together. WR5’s is a much newer version of the sport and allows people with a much wider range of disabilities to compete. RGC currently are competing in championship league of the National league. Anyone is welcome to join our club, male, female, adult, or child. The sport can be played by the disabled or non-disabled as a means of keeping fit. |
