As we embrace a new season, Bournemouth Wheelchair Rugby is poised for an exciting journey filled with challenges, growth, and inspiring opportunities. With our senior, youth teams ready to hit the court, let’s delve into what’s in store for our remarkable club.
Our 5s team recently concluded a grueling season in the WR5s Premiership league, marked by fierce competition against teams like the Leicester Tigers and Northampton Saints, featuring GB Squad players. Although the season was demanding and our team faced its share of setbacks, it’s with unwavering determination that we look ahead. Regrettably, the challenges led to our relegation to the Championship division. However, we view this as an opportunity for renewal and growth. The Championship promises to be an excellent level to nurture new talent and introduce more players to our beloved sport.
Looking ahead, Bournemouth Wheelchair Rugby is gearing up for an exhilarating year filled with potential. We’re committed to promoting and expanding our beloved sport throughout the county, and we’re pleased to announce some exciting developments for our Cubs team (ages 8-17). Thanks to funding from the BCP Youth Fund, we’re set to embark on a thrilling journey of events and friendly matches, engaging our youth players as well as those from neighboring teams.
We’re immensely grateful for the support of our new corporate partners, EchoTown Studios and Masham Court Hotel. Their backing is instrumental in propelling our club forward. However, the journey ahead is long, and we’re actively seeking new partners who wish to join us in this dynamic and growing sport. If you share our passion and vision, don’t hesitate to reach out to us about partnership opportunities.
At Bournemouth Wheelchair Rugby, we believe in inclusivity and diversity. We extend an open invitation to individuals of all ages and genders with any type of physical disability to come and experience the thrill of our sport. Our senior team trains every Sunday between 10 am and 1 pm at Rossmore Leisure Centre, followed by our juniors until 3 pm. To encourage newcomers, we offer four free taster sessions. We welcome volunteers who can contribute to our team’s success through physiotherapy, coaching, or lending a helping hand with various tasks.
As we embark on this new season, Bournemouth Wheelchair Rugby stands strong, driven by resilience and a vision for the future. We invite you to join us on this inspiring journey as we continue to foster a supportive community and embrace the exhilarating world of wheelchair rugby. Together, we’ll reach new heights and inspire the world through our passion for the game.
