What makes AFL Wheelchair unique?
Indoor Court Setup: AFL Wheelchair is played on an indoor rectangular court, segmented like a netball court, with goal posts at each end. This setting provides a controlled environment suitable for wheelchair mobility.
Modified Rules: The game features two teams of five players each. The rules are adapted to suit wheelchair use, ensuring fast-paced and exciting gameplay that mirrors the essence of traditional AFL.
