What is Wheelchair American Football?
This is a fast paced, skilled 7-a-side version of our sport for wheelchair users and non-wheelchair users aged 16+. The rule book has been created in partnership with BAFRA with consultation from Move United USA – the people behind NFL Wheelchair Football. Training and games take place on indoor basketball courts, or similarly sized spaced. Participants wear American Football helmets with face guard, and a standard adult American football is used.
Indoors or outdoors, wheelchair football is an exciting spectacle played by athletes with skill, power and agility.
The sport is starting to grow around the world.
The British American Football Association is one of the IFAF members which has made a significant commitment to developing a high quality wheelchair football offer, working with a range of stakeholders to ensure athletes get the chance to train and compete.
