Universal wheelchair football is an adaptation of American football that gives any person who desires a chance to play and have fun participating in this exciting sport regardless of his or her ability or use of a wheelchair. This is why it is called the most inclusive sport because a team can consist of any combination of people with paraplegia, quadriplegia, amputation, visual impairments, hearing impairments, people without disabilities, and people of all ages including children, teens, adults, and seniors.

Who Can Participate

Wheelchair football is available to athletes with any disability as well as non-disabled people.
