In celebration of inclusion and Soccer For All in June, LA Galaxy superstar Sebastian Lletget met with local power soccer players as he wished the team good luck ahead of the 2018 MK Battery Conference Cup Series national tournament in Indiana at the end of the month.
Power Soccer is the first competitive team sport designed and developed specifically for power wheelchair users. These participants include persons with quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, head trauma, stroke, spinal cord injury and other disabilities. Power Soccer combines the skill of the wheelchair user with the speed and power of the chair itself, to participate in an extremely challenging game similar to soccer. The game is played in a gymnasium on a regulation basketball court. Two teams of four power wheelchair users attack, defend, and spin-kick a 13-inch soccer ball in an attempt to score goals.
The 2018 MK Battery Conference Cup Series national tournament will begin on June 28th with matches livestreamed at https://livestream.com/powersoccershop/2018-uspsa-mk-ccs-1.
