What is WA Blind AFL?
WA Blind AFL is an adapted version of Australian Rules Football designed for people who are blind or have low vision.
The game keeps the feel and excitement of traditional footy, with simple changes to the rules and equipment to make it more accessible.
Do I need football experience?
Not at all. No previous football experience is needed.
Our coaches create a welcoming and supportive environment where players can learn new skills, have fun and enjoy being part of a team.
Is there tackling in WA Blind AFL?
There is no traditional tackling. Instead, a tackle is replaced by a two-handed touch between the shoulders and waist.
Players can also shepherd when they are within five metres of the football.
How do players locate the ball and goals?
Players use their hearing and available vision to locate the football, goals and other players.
The football produces sound to help players track it during play, while high-visibility features around the goals make them easier to locate.
Who can participate?
WA Blind AFL is designed for adults who are blind or have low vision.
