Recently, the AdVenture Program was awarded a large
grant to purchase rugby wheelchairs and start a rugby program in
the Treasure Valley. The grant funding for this program is awarded
by U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee,
through funding provided by Veterans Affairs. The grants are
provided to facilitate the growth of Paralympic sport programming
for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed Forces.
You do not have to have a disability to play; all skill levels
are welcome and rugby wheelchairs are available for use. If you are
unsure about signing up for the entire session, you can drop-in for
$5. Rugby is held at Fort Boise Community Center, 700 Robbins
Road, Boise. To register or learn more call 208-608-7680 or
e-mail AdVentureProgram@cityofboise.org.
Please view the Activity Guide Button on the left for the
current wheelchair rugby schedule listed under the AdVenture Seeker
section.
