About

The Game

Power Soccer is the first competitive team sport designed and developed specifically for power wheelchair users. Athletes’ disabilities include quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and many others. The game is played in a gymnasium on a regulation basketball court. Two teams of four players attack, defend, and spin-kick a 13-inch soccer ball in a skilled and challenging game similar to able-bodied soccer.

The History of the Sport

Power soccer was originally developed in France in the early 1970s. The San Jose Steamrollers were one of the first teams in the U.S., established in the early 1980s.  In 2005, six countries met in Paris, France, to create an international organization and unify the rules for international competition, creating the “Federation International de Powerchair Football Association.” The United States Power Soccer Association (USPSA) followed in 2006. Today, there are over 60 teams throughout the United States.
