Mike DeYoung didn’t hold back when asked to describe what fans can expect at The World Games 2022′s wheelchair rugby competition.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –
Wheelchair rugby is considered among the most intense sports, evidenced by the players’ use of custom wheelchairs designed to withstand constant collisions. This summer’s competition in Birmingham will mark the first time wheelchair rugby has been part of The World Games, and it also marks the first time an adaptive sport is part of the regular sports program at an international, multi-sport athletic event that also includes non-adaptive sports.
The six teams qualified for The World Games’ wheelchair rugby competition are the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany, Great Britain and Switzerland. The mixed-gender wheelchair rugby competition will run from July 14-17 at the Birmingham CrossPlex. Only players rated .5, 1.0 or 1.5 are eligible to play in The World Games 2022. Female players received a half-point deduction for rating purposes.
