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.
