Wheelchair Football

Together, we are better. When people come together to pursue a worthy quest that truly inspires them, great things happen.

In 2022, the Perth Football Club became the fourth WAFL club to join the WA Wheelchair Football League (WAWFL).

In their inaugural season, the Perth Football Club Wheelchair team had a terrific home and away season and went on to defeat Swan Districts in the Grand Final to become premiers for 2022.

The competition is played on indoor courts at HBF Area, with Perth joining rivals East Perth, Subiaco, and Swan Districts.

The teams are mixed gender, including a blend of players with and without a disability – which makes the sport inclusive for everyone.

The Rules:

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.
