On behalf of Parafed Waikato and the Waikato Wheelchair Rugby, I would like to welcome everybody to the 2025 NZ Health Group Wheelchair Rugby Low Point National Championships. We have seen first-hand how involvement in sport changes people’s lives, and we see this particularly for people who play team sports. Wheelchair Rugby is the only team sport for people with quadriplegia or quad amputations.
Combining sheer physicality with strategy and focus, this sport demonstrates clearly how sport brings out the very best, even in the most challenging situations.
Low Pointers is a variation of the game where the maximum number of points that can be on the court is only 3.5 rather than the usual 8 points. It’s for players who are classified 1.5 and below.
It’s a great chance for Low Point players to play roles that they don’t normally do. 1.0 pointers and 0.5’s get the chance to carry the ball and attack the key.
There are lots of laughs and it always feels relaxed even though the games are competitive and it is very hard work.
We are proud to again be hosting this year’s tournament and will endeavour to make your stay and tournament a very rewarding and enjoyable one.
