The USQRA is proud to announce the awarding of the 2012 and 2013 national championships have gone to Louisville Kentucky. The two-year contract brings the championship back for an unprecedented 7th and 8th year to the bluegrass state.
Tournament director Jill Farmer has promised an even more robust championship than in years past. Given previous reviews it will be hard to top all of the gamesmanship on the and off the court. Combined with the lead up to the London Paralympics and the pageantry of the build up to the Kentucky Derby, these championships promise to be filled with excitement and thrills.
The 2012 National Championships are slated for April 27 – 29 2012 and long time sponsor Frazier Rehab will again serve as host for the event. For more information check back here in the early fall.
<p>The Force and USA Wheelchair Rugby are pleased to announce the list of the attendees for the 2011 - 2013 team. "These athletes represent the future of USA international players" said USA Wheelchair Rugby coach James Gumbert. "The hope is to continue and build upon the successes of previous teams and expand them to challenge even more areas of competition and development" he said.<br />
