Wheelchair Rugby Association Singapore
Wheelchair Rugby Association Singapore is the Singapore member association listed by World Wheelchair Rugby and a local provider of wheelchair-rugby training and community participation programmes.
Wheelchair Rugby Association Singapore
The Wheelchair Rugby Association Singapore (WRAS) is the Singapore association listed in World Wheelchair Rugby's membership directory. The directory identifies the Singapore member as “Wheelchair Rugby Association (Singapore)” and provides its public contact email (World Wheelchair Rugby, WWR Membership, accessed 29 August 2026). This establishes its place in the sport's international membership structure; it does not make WRAS a government agency or a branch of Sport Singapore.
Local participation and training
Inclusive Sport's programme-provider directory lists WRAS as a wheelchair-rugby provider for people with spinal-cord injuries, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, amputations or other neurological conditions. The listing says that members of the public can join community night training sessions on Tuesdays, scheduled from 7pm to 10pm, and directs interested people to contact WRAS for details (Inclusive Sport, Search by Programme Provider, updated 22 August 2026, accessed 29 August 2026). The directory is a discovery and contact listing: its inclusion does not establish that places are unlimited, that sessions are free, or that every applicant meets the programme's requirements.
Role in wheelchair-rugby development
WRAS partnered with World Wheelchair Rugby for Singapore's inaugural Wheelchair Rugby Super Week, held from 18 to 21 June 2026. The event offered technical-development workshops for coaches, match officials, classifiers, mechanics and educators (Inclusive Sport, Wheelchair Rugby Super Week 2026, published 18 June 2026, accessed 29 August 2026). This partnership demonstrates WRAS's involvement in local sport development and international technical activity, but the event article does not by itself establish that WRAS certifies all Singapore officials, selects every national athlete, or operates a national league.
Scope and participation boundaries
WRAS's public provider listing describes a local route into wheelchair rugby and gives a contact-based sign-up path. WRAS is not a statutory regulator of disability sport, and the listing should not be read as a guarantee of eligibility or a comprehensive register of all Singapore wheelchair-rugby activities. Sport Singapore's Inclusive Sport portal separately publishes provider information, while World Wheelchair Rugby provides the international membership listing; those roles are distinct from WRAS's association and programme role.
