For a full set of rules click here.

Wheelchair Rugby is played on a standard basketball court using a volleyball. There is a goal at each end of the court measuring 8 meters across. To score a goal a player must get two wheels over the goal line with the ball under control, either in the player’s hands, or on their lap.

Picture roy in ScotlandThere are four players on a team of varying classification. The player that is carrying the ball must bounce or pass it every 10 seconds. The team are given 15 seconds to get out of their own half. Once in the oppositions half they must not go back into their own half with the ball. There is then no time limit to score the goal, but any player can only enter the key in front of the goal for 10 seconds; this is an area 1.75 meters in front of the goal.

Picture trainingThe opposition attempt to gain possession of the ball, block attacks on goal and force errors from the attacking players. Most chair to chair contact is allowed, but no person to person contact is permitted.

The game consists of four, 8 minute quarters; the clock stops whenever the ball is deemed out of play.
