Lets learn a bit about Power Soccer:
Power soccer is a team sport played on a regulation-sized basketball court. Players maneuver their power wheelchairs equipped with specialized footguards to pass, dribble, and shoot an oversized soccer ball. The objective is to score more goals than the opposing team within the two twenty minute halves, making it a dynamic game for both participants and spectators. (United States Power Soccer Association)
