Saline Middle School
Saline, MI
Saturday, August 29th
Come join University of Michigan for a one day, beginner friendly, wheelchair rugby clinic on August 29! The clinic will be led by UM head coach Chuck Aoki, and open to all levels of athletes, especially new or first time players. First half of the day will be spent doing ‘chalk talk’ rugby foundations, followed by individual skills and drills lessons. After lunch, we will then work on team based drills, and end with some full court gameplay! Coaches are welcome to attend as well, but it should be noted that this is primarily focused on player education.
For new players considering attending-common eligible disabilities for wheelchair rugby include; cervical spinal cord injury (C8 and above), cerebral palsy, Charcot-Marie Tooth, multiple sclerosis, quadruple or triple amputees, spinal muscular atrophy, or any other impairment that leads to a loss of function in 3 or 4 limbs. If you’re not sure, just come on out!
