Power Soccer
Power Soccer combines the skill of the athlete with the speed and power of the chair to create an extremely challenging game similar to soccer and football. The game is played on a regulation size basketball court with two teams of four players who attack, defend and maneuver an oversized soccer ball in an attempt to score goals. The bottom of the ball can rise no more than 50 cm above the floor. Teams will be determined once the number of players registered for Power Soccer is identified. All competitors must bring their own motorized wheelchairs. No scooters allowed—only motorized four-wheeler chairs accepted. Wheelchair guards and game ball will be provided. Personal equipment will be allowed after inspection and approval by the event Head Official. There is a maximum speed of 6.2 mph during play. All powerchairs will be tested over a 50 ft. course where they go faster than 5.5 seconds. Each athlete must ensure compliance with this aspect of the rule. For 2024: Medals will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams.
