I have been toying with this idea since 2008, and started the following discussion on the idea....
WHAT IF A PERSON CLASSIFIES TOO HIGH? (above 3.5, But wants to compete) USQRA
The discussion is to inquire if there is a wheelchair rugby team that exists for people that surpass the maximum functional limitations (i.e. to be classed to compete on a USQRQ rugby team, yet have physical disabilities)?
In other words, where would a person play if they functionally improve too much, and class too high?
If there are none, I stated that I am interested in starting a league for this level of participation.

Im looking to get into wheelchair rugby, but can only seem to find teams around my area for quads.
Does anyone know where I can look for a team to join in the Nor Cal area? If not does anyone know it this even exists for para's?
Any help would be great. Thanks,
Marc
