A power soccer ball is 13 inches - which is about double the size of an able-bodied soccer ball. This is mainly done as a safety measurement to prevent it from getting stuck under chairs.

Where can I find equipment?

To play power soccer you must have a footguard for your chair. Some soccer organizations across the country have equipment you can use if you are part of the team. Check with the local organization. These guards are usually made of polycarbonate and will adjust to most chairs they have traditional footrests. If you choose, you can have a local metal shop design ad fabricate a guard for our chair.

The Power Soccer Shop is a partner with the USPSA and has most equipment you might be looking for to start a new team to upgrading to new equipment.
