WHEELCHAIR RUGBY

Wheelchair Rugby training plans, built for your goal

Wheelchair rugby is a genuinely full-contact sport — chair-to-chair collisions are a legal, central part of the game, and lineups are built around classification totals, so your training needs to match both the physical demands of contact and the team-strategy role your classification plays. SportBlox builds your wheelchair rugby training plan around your classification, position and season.

Personalisation

How SportBlox personalises it

Your goal & event date

Sessions build toward the specific goal and date you set, with a taper if you're racing or competing.

Your skill level

Volume and intensity scale to where you actually are, from Inexperienced to Professional.

Your stated weaknesses

Tell SportBlox about things like chair speed in transition, ball security under contact, shoulder and hand fatigue late in games and the plan weights sessions toward fixing them.

Your schedule

The plan fits the days and time you say you have — not an idealised training week.

FAQ

Wheelchair Rugby training plan FAQ

Does the plan account for my classification?

Yes — tell SportBlox your classification and it weights strength, push power and skill work to suit your functional profile and role in the lineup.

Do I need my sport chair for every session?

Skill and contact-readiness sessions assume access to your sport chair; strength work can be done separately if you flag limited access.

Is this suitable for a beginner?

Yes — set skill level to Inexperienced and the plan scales contact volume and complexity accordingly.

Will it work around my team's practice schedule?

Yes, tell it your existing sessions and it plans around them rather than adding to them.

How does it manage load given the contact involved?

In-season sessions are load-managed to balance collision volume with recovery, and any existing shoulder, hand or wrist issues can be flagged so the plan routes around them.
