The WFA teams up with Academy Soccer Coach for first-ever Powerchair Football specific software.

The WFA have worked alongside staff at Academy Soccer Coach to bring its users accurate player representation and pitch dimensions, meaning for the first time, coaches can plan training sessions and prepare for matches with imagery that reflects the game. 

With ASC Cloud, users can create, store, manage and share sessions with fellow coaches, club members and players across a variety of devices.

As a result of the working relationship between ASC and the WFA, powerchair clubs and coaches have the opportunity to purchase a licence with a 20% discount as well as other customisable options.

Prior to purchase, users can get trial access to the ASC Cloud platform for 7 days to gain some hands-on experience of using the Para Soccer software. ASC staff will also visit the National League at the end of March to speak to clubs and coaches, as well as show the platform in action.

If you wish to trial the software please contact Academy Soccer Coach directly via email: customer_services@academysoccercoach.com

Last month it was confirmed that the National League was awarded FA Charter Standard League status. As well as confirmation of Charter Standard league status, the WFA received certification from the FA and a crystal trophy.  

The FA Charter Standard League is an accreditation that sets an operational benchmark for FA sanctioned leagues. Since 2009 this is awarded to leagues which can demonstrate their commitment to provide well-organised football in safer, more inclusive environments.

The Wheelchair Football Association National League is a two-tiered league, featuring 12 teams in each division. Based at Nottingham Trent University, teams take part in 5 league weekends throughout the season, culminating with a final end of season event.

David Lewis, WFA Chairperson said, “We are delighted to be recognised as a FA Charter Standard League, highlighting the standards our league is reaching. I would like to thank our member clubs as we could not achieve this award without them achieving their own Charter Standard club status on a local level. Collectively we must continue to work together to maintain these minimum standards and showcase the National League for the high-quality league it is.”
