AFL Victoria brings you AFL Blind Football. A new and exciting adapted version of Australian Rules football which provides people who have a vision impairment or have some degree of blindness the opportunity to play our great game.
A game of AFL Blind looks and feels like traditional Australian football, with slight adaptions to rules and modifications to equipment, it provides the support required to play a game of football.
- Games are played indoors, which provides a controlled environment to allow players to utilise their hearing.
- The football has a USB charging port and an electronic beeper inserted to produce sound loud enough to assist with tracking the ball.
- To assist with identifying the centre and location of the goals, there are flashing lights behind the goals, high contrast backdrops hung behind the goals, and goal umpires how rattle shakers when the football enters the scoring zone.
