Question

Can someone who plays wheelchair basketball decide they want to play wheelchair rugby instead?

Answer 1

I was sure you were joking, but wheelchair rugby actually exists! That is so...freaking...awesome.

To answer your question: no. The rules of wheelchair rugby require that all players are quadriplegic, whereas wheelchair basketball players are usually paraplegic and still have use of their arms.
