They say you shouldn’t reinvent the wheel – unless, of course, that wheel is rolling towards a future of greater gender equity in wheelchair rugby. World Wheelchair Rugby (WWR) is proud to launch not one, but two groundbreaking Gender Equity Playbooks, set to level the playing field for women+ in the sport. If you’re ready to tackle outdated norms and turn gender equity from buzzword to reality, these playbooks are your new MVPs.
Why Two Playbooks? Because One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Let’s break it down…because equity isn’t just about opening the door, it’s about making sure everyone can get through it. The Club Playbook is your no-nonsense, grassroots guide to boosting female participation at the community level. Think of it as the ultimate game plan for clubs looking to welcome more women into the sport, whether as players, coaches, or future legends. It’s packed with practical tips, step-by-step advice, and enough inspiration to get your whole squad fired up.
But what about the big-picture stuff? Enter the Member Nations Playbook – designed for national federations and governing bodies. This isn’t just a handbook, it’s a power play for structural change. From shaping policies and securing funding to building communications strategies, this resource helps countries create long-lasting frameworks that champion gender equity at every level of the game. If clubs are the engine, this playbook is the blueprint for building the whole machine.
What’s Inside?
👉 Targeted recruitment strategies to bring more women+ into the game
👉 Leadership development programs to boost female representation on and off the court
👉 Tips for creating inclusive environments
👉 Funding guidance to help member nations make the case for equity

Less Talk, More Action
These playbooks aren’t just about good intentions; they’re about real-world impact. Whether you’re a club looking to build an inclusive program or a national federation shaping the future of the sport, the message is clear: gender equity isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Download the playbooks today and be part of the change. Let’s break barriers, shatter ceilings, and prove that wheelchair rugby isn’t just for the toughest athletes, it’s for everyone. Because when we invest in women in sport, we don’t just transform the game – we change lives.
