Learn To Play Wheelchair Rugby

 

3 Hours of Intense Training

After 3 hours of intensive training the team from Siemens were split into two fair teams, blues and yellows. It was a thrilling game of wheelchair rugby. It was amazing how much everyone had learned in such a short space of time. The communication and team play was clear for all to see and the competitiveness of the players was apparent. It must be noted that the game was played hard, but always with an air of grace and control. The enthusiasm and commitment from the start was motivating. The team supporting the day from the Barbarians loved it and so did Siemens_UK.

Team Building

A lot of the team from Siemens had not met each other in person before the day and now Covid restrictions are loosening, a team building day learning the skill, finesse and guile required to play a prominent wheelchair sport, was the perfect team building day. Everyone left tired, but with big smiles on their faces and something everyone can talk about on Monday. 😀
