The full-contact option, built for players with impairments affecting all four limbs. It began as a sport for people with spinal injuries at that level and is now open to anyone whose disability affects all four limbs, which makes it the obvious team sport for many people with tetraplegia who find basketball's shooting demands limiting. Every player is classified from 0.5 to 3.5 points according to function, and the four on court may total no more than eight, so teams balance lower and higher pointers. Men and women play on the same teams. In the UK, GB Wheelchair Rugby looks for new players of every level and points them to local clubs and taster days, which are the place to ask about borrowing a rugby chair before buying one.
