Keywords:New Zealand Wheelchair Rugby (NZWR) is a registered charity with 20 years of history behind it, and represents the sport nationally with six regions established throughout the country and on the world stage with the National team known as the ‘Wheel Blacks'. Our objectives are to develop a fully inclusive sport, enabling players to achieve and reach their full potential regardless of their financial status or disability.
Wheelchair Rugby (as featured in the Bafta Award nominated film “Murderball”) is a full-blooded, contact sport developed initially for tetraplegics - those whose disabilities affect both their lower and upper limbs, and offers male and female players significant rehabilitational, health, and social benefits, as well as gaining athletic achievement at both national and World Class Sporting levels.
As a charity we depend on income from sponsorship, donations and membership in order to fund key areas of our work
