Balloon Football is a game targeted at people who use wheelchairs, and is basically the Australian Rules Football Version of Wheelchair Sports.
The aim of Balloon Football is to score more points than the other team, through teamwork. Points are scored the same as for Australian Rules Football and the sport is played on a basketball court with Auskick goals, with four to five players on each team and a large weather balloon. Wheelchairs can either be motorised or manually pushed.
If required, the player is able to use a ‘pusher’. The balloon is lightweight so people can use any part of their body to move the balloon such as arms, legs, head, chest etc. Come and join this exciting new opportunity!
