The WA All Abilities Football Association is delighted to have Rise supporting the 2022 and 2023 Rise Inclusion Football Academy.

Rise Inclusion Football Academy

Following the completion of the Integrated Football Season, we are excited to launch the Rise Inclusion Football Academy 2023 (IFA23), as we continue to expand our program for footballers with a disability. We are proud to welcome Rise as our program partner for another season of IFA23. 

Aimed at footballers with a disability aged 16 years and above, the Academy, under the guidance of head coaches – will centre around the development of FOOTBALL, WELL BEING and LEADERSHIP. 

Every club in the Integrated Competition and invited families are asked to submit players whom they believe would benefit from the experience. The agreed submitted squad will be invited to compete in a Draft Combine presented by the WA Football AFL Talent Academy and two additional training sessions. These will be invite only sessions. 

A squad of 44 players will then be chosen and invited to continue to train for the Rise Network Inclusion Football Academy, and will play three Exhibition matches on Wednesday, September 13th and September 20th under lights. The decider will be held at Mineral Resources Park 1/12/23.
