WA Wheelchair Football League

WA Wheelchair Football League set to begin for the 2024 Season

Welcome to the 2024 WA All Abilities Wheelchair Season, where we unite once more for this inclusive competition. Played on a basketball court with goalposts at either end, WA Wheelchair Football involves teams of five facing off against each other with two defenders, two forwards, and one midfielder.

A handball in Wheelchair Football is equivalent to a ‘kick,’ and an underarm throw equates to a ‘handball’ as per regular Australian Football rules.

Teams can be mixed gender, including a blend of players with and without disabilities, ensuring the sport is attractive for everyone to participate. The competition provides an opportunity for people with and without disabilities to play in a unified competition, supported by the WA Department of Local Government, Sport, and Cultural Industries.

Perth Demons brought home the win last year—who will claim victory this year?
