NSW Powerchair Football Association

The NSW Powerchair Football Association (NSWPFA) is a sports club based in Sydney, Australia. It is the home of powerchair football in New South Wales and is dedicated to promoting and developing the sport. Powerchair football is a modified version of soccer played by powerchair users, using specially modified powerchairs and an oversized ball. The sport is played on an indoor court and is known for its fast pace, tactical gameplay, and the skills of its athletes.

The NSWPFA welcomes everyone to get involved in powerchair football. It is a sport that can be played by people of all ages and genders, as long as they can drive a powerchair safely. Those interested in trying powerchair football can participate even if they do not have their own sports powerchair. Spectators are always welcome, and the club is also in need of volunteers.

The home venue for the NSWPFA is Valentine Sports Park, located at 235-257 Meurants Ln, Glenwood NSW 2768. This facility is the host of Football NSW and provides the perfect setting for powerchair football matches and events.

The NSWPFA organises the NSWPFA Powerchair League Season, which runs from February until June. Teams compete over 15 rounds to earn the title of NSWPFA Champions. The league consists of two divisions: premier League and Reserve Grade. In the 2022 season, the Newcastle Jets were crowned top League Champions, while Sydney FC claimed the Reserve Grade title.

The 2023 season promises more thrilling competition and exciting matches.
