We’ll be back up to speed on January 2nd and will respond to your messages then. Enjoy the Holidays and have a Happy New Year!

USAWFL TOURNAMENT HOST APPLICATION LIVE

The USA Wheelchair Football League (USAWFL) just wrapped up a successful 2024 regular season and is looking forward to 2025! You can be part of this fast-growing sport by serving as a tournament host in Fall 2025. Host sites do not need to be currently affiliated with a USAWFL team, but should be interested in ensuring the more than 250 athletes, coaches, officials and spectators attending have a world-class tournament experience. Grant funding is available from Move United to support selected hosts with tournament hosting fees.
