Wheelchair rugby, a dynamic and high-impact Paralympic sport, has long been beloved for its intensity, skill, and teamwork. However, women, girls and non-binary individuals have historically been underrepresented in this electrifying game. World Wheelchair Rugby (WWR) has formed a task force with the goal of increasing women, girls and non-binary individuals’ participation in wheelchair rugby on a global scale.
The goal of this survey is to gain input from the wheelchair rugby community about recruitment and retention, lived experiences of wheelchair rugby, barriers to participation, potential solutions, as well as your thoughts on a vision for the future.
We welcome the voices and perspectives of anyone over the age of 18 engaged with wheelchair rugby. We do ask that you identify the stakeholder group you belong to and provide some demographic information, but otherwise your replies will be anonymous. The survey should take about 15 minutes.
