at wheelchair rugby this week we had an able-bodied woman come and try out a session with us because she's doing a challenge to try 40 different sports this year and it was really cool feeling like this isn't just a sport you do because you're locked out of others, this is something fun and cool people want to get into?
At the moment I feel there's a sort of difficulty with wheelchair sports where a lot of the time able-bodied people can't really join in because there's just not enough equiptment (and money really) to allow that and of course you need to prioritise the people who it's mainly for. But I'd love to be able to bring my non-disabled friends to 5s rugby with me the same as when I was abled I'd bring them to martial arts or badminton or whatever. Dreaming of a beautiful world where there is enough funding and wheelchairs for 5s rugby to be treated not just as a disability sport but a sport for everyone.
#wheelchair rugby#murderball#love how i always use those tags despite seeming like the only person on this site who blogs about it lmao#mez speaks#5s is the mixed ability version of wheelchair rugby btw#like that doesnt require impairment in the upper body#im not saying abled people should play 4s obviously lol#but like. I'd like 5s to be available to everyone and be seen as just a regular sport with specialised equiptment#rather than a disability sport if that makes sense#unsure if this is actually a good take or not its hard to think everything through i just love this sport and everyone should
