Photo Gallery: Victorian Powerchair League

State Sport Centres have been delighted to welcome the Victorian Powerchair League to our centre in Parkville.

Powerchair Football is a modified version of football/soccer for powerchair users. It is played in a gymnasium on a regulation basketball court with a ball that is 1.5x the size of a traditional ball. There are two teams of four players (including the goal keeper). Players dribble and hit the ball around the court with a specially designed bull-bar that is mounted onto the front of their powerchair. It is a fast-paced and dynamic sport for spectators and players alike.

Did you know….? The game originated in France in the 1970s!
