Power Wheelchair Soccer

Kids playing power wheelchair soccer

Power Soccer is the first competitive team sport designed and developed specifically for power wheelchair users. It combines the skill of the wheelchair user with the speed and power of the chair itself, to participate in an extremely challenging game similar to soccer. The game is played in a gymnasium on a regulation basketball court. Two teams of four power chair users attack defend, and spin-kick a 13-inch soccer ball in an attempt to score goals.

The sport was originally developed in France in the early 70's and was introduced to the United States in the early 80's. Since then many countries created their own version of the sport which led to the international meeting in Paris, France 2005. It was the vision of the six countries that attended to create an international organization and unify the rules for International Competition. The international organization, "Federation International de Powerchair Football Association" was born. This development led to the formal organization of the United States Power Soccer Association (USPSA) in 2006.
