Lincolnshire Powerchair Football

We are delighted to partner with the Lincolnshire County Football Association to introduce powerchair football opportunities to the county. 

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 a dynamic and fast-paced version of football adapted for electric wheelchair (powerchair) users. It is typically played on a 30m x 18m basketball court. Two teams of four players (including the goalkeeper) pass, dribble, and spin-kick an oversized football as they try to score more goals than the opposing team.

Players compete in specially designed powerchairs for the sport of powerchair football. Metal foot guards are attached to the front of the powerchairs, allowing players to kick the ball. Players’ spin’ to generate power, striking the ball with the side of the guard for the strongest hits, although often using the front bars of the guard results in a more accurate impact.
