Powerchair Football is a unique sport that provides opportunities for people with a high level of impairment to access the game of football.  It is the only active team participation sport for people who use electric wheelchairs.

The sport is fast-paced, dynamic and very enjoyable to watch.  Due to the unique nature of the Powerchair Football, it allows all ages, disabilities and both genders to compete together. 

Powerchair Football enables disabled people to take part in regular activity and provides them with competition - something that the majority will never have, or rarely, experienced before due to their impairment. 

As a result, it builds key life skills such as teamwork and communication.
