VI Rugby
Visually Impaired Rugby catering for people across the spectrum of sight loss.
An Overview of VI Rugby
Visually Impaired rugby was developed by the Change Foundation.
It caters for people across the spectrum of sight loss and is based off the rugby 7s format. The concept is the same as mainstream rugby: pass backwards and run forwards with the aim of scoring a try over the opposition's try line.
Rugby is a great way to meet new people, improve communication skills and build stamina.
