There are not many pieces of equipment involved in an American wheelchair football game. The only necessary items are a field, wheelchairs, and a ball. As mentioned, the field should include boundary and goal line markers, as well as a goal post/target for field goals. Any type of chair can be used, from a standard daily use chair to a sports chair to a motorized chair. Finally, the type of ball can vary greatly, from a softer, Nerf-type ball to a more traditional leather ball of any size. Additionally, if an individual with vision impairment or blindness is playing, a noise-emitting ball may be used to help them know where it is throughout the game.
