What is required of players regarding ball handling in Quad Rugby?

In Quad Rugby, players are required to dribble or pass the ball every 10 seconds to maintain the pace and flow of the game. This rule is designed to encourage continuous play and engagement, while also promoting skill development among players with disabilities. The 10-second rule ensures that players have a limited time to make a decision about advancing the play, thus preventing stagnant gameplay and increasing the dynamics of the sport.

The emphasis on dribbling or passing sets it apart from other sports where players can hold the ball for longer periods, making it vital for maintaining a competitive and fast-paced environment that aligns with the principles of adaptive sports. This serves not only to keep the game moving but also encourages teamwork and strategic thinking among players, as they must make quick decisions in their ball-handling techniques.
