Wheelchair Football:

The wheelchair football program is part of an organized football league. Tryouts are held in order to help make equitable teams. Participants play a regular season of games that lead up to the playoffs and are followed by the Bennett Bowl. Any child with a physical challenge is eligible to play, but all athletes must use an electric or manual wheelchair. The Physically Challenged Sports and Recreation Program provides extra chairs for the ambulatory athlete.
