Buffalo Wheelchair Football

Wheelchair Football

One of only nine sanctioned teams in the country, Greater Buffalo Adaptive’s wheelchair football team competes in at least two national tournaments each season, against the other NFL-affiliated teams. The program is run by and partially sponsored by Bob Woodruff Foundation , NFL Foundation, and Move United. Our team has doubled since its inaugural season in 2021, and we are always looking for more athletes. This 7 v. 7 touch-style game is played outdoors on blacktop or indoors on a multipurpose surface.

Youth Wheelchair Football

We are looking to start a youth wheelchair football team in 2023. It will follow the same format of play as the adult team, modified for younger athletes.

The current barrier we face with beginning a youth team is equipment. GBAS is looking to purchase at least 10 youth-specific sports wheelchairs through grants and donations.
