Join Northeast Passage's Wheelchair Rugby team for practice! New players welcome! If you are interested in trying Wheelchair Rugby for the first time, please call NEP at 603-862-0070 or email the NEP office at Northeast.Passage@unh.edu. Wheelchair Rugby equipment and instruction provided! Wheelchair Rugby is a full-contact Paralympic sport that is played 4 versus 4 on an indoor basketball court. The object of the game is to score a goal by crossing the goal line with possession of the ball. Complex strategy for both offense and defense are imperative and physical contact between chairs is an integral part of the game. All players have a disability that affects both their upper and lower limbs and men and women compete on the same team. Players are classified based on physical function and rugby chairs are customized for each individual based on their rating and position on the team (offensive or defensive player). Benefits of regular play include increased strength, endurance, and independence. Both on and off the court, the NEP Wheelchair Rugby Program fosters camaraderie, physical fitness, and leadership opportunities for all involved.
