Power Soccer is a team sport designed specifically
for people who use power (electric) wheelchairs
in their everyday life.
It is a highly competitive team sport, consisting
of four players: a goalie and three forwards
that is played on a basketball court using an
18 inch soccer ball.
Anyone 6 years old and older who utilizes a
power wheelchair can compete.
The wheelchairs are outfitted with plastic foot
guards in order to protect the athlete's feet
and to provide for a surface to control the
ball.
Teams are categorized into 2 levels: Division
I for the experienced, highly skilled, players;
and Division II for those players who are learning
the game and developing skills.
The Power Soccer season runs from September
through June.
The Mesa Association of Sports for the Disabled
hosts a regional Power Soccer Tournament each
November.
The National tournament is held in June.
There is no cost for participating in this program,
but annual membership in the NDSA is a requirement
for competition.
