From Cliff Cook, manager of the Lakeshore Foundation wheelchair flag football program: 

“Wheelchair flag football is a wonderful sport that allows individuals with and without disabilities to compete together on one court.  Lakeshore runs a unique wheelchair flag football program, but there are various forms of the game being played around the country.  Contact your nearby adaptive rec facility to see if football is being offered in your area.  If it is not, share with the facility our rules and see if they would be interested in starting a league.”
