Powerchair Football is an adapted version of Indoor Football for people with a physical disability who use powerchairs for mobility. It is a highly competitive, fast-paced and entertaining sport with opportunities to play at local, national and international level.
Teams consist of up to 8 players, with 4 players per team on the court. Players use specially made guards to dribble and “kick” the ball around with the intention to gain maximum power and speed through spinning (spin kick) the ball. Matches are played on basketball courts and consist of two 20-minute halves.
