The Bully Wee’s powerchair club now has 27 players and are based in two centres in Glasgow and Cumbernauld. Clyde Powerchair FC were the first ever powerchair club to be created in Scotland and are recipients of the prestigious Scottish FA award, ‘Scotland United: Disability Award’.

The success of Clyde Powerchair FC inspired interest in Dundee, Falkirk, Aberdeen and Edinburgh and with general interest in the sport growing across the country, it made it a natural step for a national league to be formed.
