The Rise WA Inclusion Football Academy kicked off on Wednesday with some of WA’s best players with disability training at the WA Football Commission’s High Performance complex.
Rise Manager, Vanessa Williams, cheered on the athletes as they were led through their paces by Hayden Marchetto from the
WA All Abilities Football Association. Athletes completed speed and agility drills as they darted between markers. There were vertical jump drills and acceleration training in a 30-metre sprint.
The training academy is from 6 - 7:30pm every Wednesday for 7 more weeks. Athletes have the potential to gain selection for the WA state team to compete in the AFL National Inclusion Carnival.
We’d love to get staff and clients down to the training academy to support the athletes. This could be collecting footballs, assisting the coaches or cheering on the athletes. Email:
