Notes

Wheelchair Rugby, a.k.a. quad rugby, is a very intense sport. Players use special wheelchairs custom built to take the powerful impact of the highly competitive play. One player was quoted as describing rugby as "the game where the only rule is no weapons". Despite the aggressive nature of the sport, it is a great workout and all participants have a good time.

The Brooks Bandits, the Adaptive Sports Program Wheelchair rugby team, practice on a weekly basis and would love you to join the team!
