APFA’s member associations are the lifeblood of powerchair football in Australia. While APFA assists our affiliated organisations, it is these local groups that are responsible for the day-to-day running of our sport. If you want to give powerchair football a go, reach out to your local organisation to get started!
If there’s no organisation in your area, get in touch with APFA. We can help get you in touch with the right people and provide resources to help get you playing.
