Building a support base for this monumental Pararoos home game

It’s a football game that will have fans more than entertained. Our Pararoos are more than excited about this massive opportunity.

But for the team, they want to make sure they prove to all the fans out there, that they are a high-quality team who will play exciting and progressive football.

“It’s not just a bunch of disabled guys. We’re elite athletes. Just because we have disabilities doesn’t change the fact that we play amazing football”

For Pararoos skipper, David Barber, he’s content and confident that his team will show the world that just because you have a disability, it doesn’t prevent you from achieving your dreams and having success in life.

Barber is not naïve to the fact that the boys will be playing a world class opponent, but nonetheless he knows the quality across his side, and the excitement is there for all to see.

“To the people who have never seen the Pararoos… You have to see it. It’s as it exciting as seeing the Socceroos”

The perception of disability and sport can often vary, believes Pararoos player, Taj Lynch.

Lynch is content on proving to everyone that he and his teammates are a team of elite footballers who are hardworking and talented.

He wants to show the world that by supporting the Pararoos, you are supporting a team full of commitment and determination, and this is not something you see with every football team you watch play the game.

“I don’t think there is a team out there, able-bodied or Paralympic, who play with more passion and determination and heart than we do”

Pararoos player Matthew Hearne is certain of the fact that his team will leave nothing out on the park, and will put on a display of true commitment and desire for all the Aussie fans watching.
