Saracens Wheelchair Rugby Club – in Partnership with Allianz

SARACENS WHEELCHAIR RUGBY CLUB (SWRC) – IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ALLIANZ, HAS BEEN BORN OUT OF A RECOGNIZED NEED FOR A STRONGLY STRUCTURED, SUSTAINABLE AND SUCCESSFUL WHEELCHAIR RUGBY CLUB IN THE HERTS/NORTH LONDON AREA.

The Club forms a new direction for Saracens and the Saracens Foundation, providing competitive and recreational sports opportunities for individuals with a physical disability in wheelchair sport.

SWRC fits in with the Saracens Foundation’s core statement: ‘Inspiring communities and changing lives through the power of sport’

SWRC will provide competitive and recreational opportunities for people aged 11+ to participate in wheelchair rugby. The club will offer both adults (16+) and junior (11+) training sessions.

Supporting the junior training is the Saracens Wheelchair Rugby Schools Program. This program works with SEND schools and organizations across Herts and the North London areas. This program provides a pathway for participants to attend the junior sessions at SWRC.
