2022 July — December Retrospective
Expanded Wheelchair Football League Launches Third Season_01 As a wheelchair basketball competitor throughout high school, Kansan Riley Blee loved the mental toughness and camaraderie he derived from playing and, after graduation, found himself wishing for an ongoing outlet for his athleticism.
Two years ago, he began satisfying his craving for contact sports by signing on with the USA Wheelchair Football League, whose third season starts in August 2022.
Move United’s league is designed to give wheelchair football athletes the chance to be a part of a team and can allow them to get outdoors. It aims to let them prove their versatility.
