Wheelchair Rugby League is a relatively new disability sport developed in 2004 by Robert Fassolette and Wally Sulvan, which can be played by men and women.

The game is a wheelchair version of Rugby League Football with similar rules and regulations including offside, backward passing of the ball but no scrums.

The first Wheelchair Rugby World Cup, held in Sydney in 2008, was won by England, with the next planned for July 2013.

This session takes place every Wednesday at 20:00 to 21:00.
