We will learn the basics from Ernie Chun, USA Wheelchair Rugby and Heat360 team member. Ernie has been playing wheelchair rugby for 16 years, and over the course of his career with Team USA has won two bronze medals in world championships.

*****************
Wheelchair Rugby is a mixed team sport, and was invented in 1977 in Winnipeg, Canada by a group of quadriplegic athletes who were looking for an alternative to wheelchair basketball. The sport they created, originally called Murderball, is now known as Wheelchair Rugby.

Wheelchair Rugby was recognized as a full medal sport for the first time at the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
