Wheelchair Football

No sitting on the sidelines

What is Wheelchair football?

Have you always loved to watch football?  Wished you could play football, but your physical challenges have left you on the sidelines?  Wait no more. Wheelchair football is a recently introduced wheelchair sport. It is fast and fun. It combines the skills of other court wheelchair sports  to the excitement of passing, catching and rushing the football.

Learn the skills and the game

Come join us and learn the skills of passing and catching while wheeling your chair.  You will learn the teamwork of blocking your opponents so your teammate can rush for touchdowns.  You will learn to run different plays, and how to “cut” to get open for your quarterback.  Our coaches will make sure you develop not only your individual skills but also your teamwork skills.

Sport wheelchairs provided

Come join us for a fun and competitive game of football. Your friends who love football will be waiting for you. The STAR Center provides all equipment you need including sport wheelchairs. We are able to adapt to your specific needs.
