USPSA is the governing body for Power Soccer in the United States. 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 chair users attack, defend, and spin-kick a 13-inch soccer ball in an attempt to score goals. Power Soccer is a very active and growing sport, both nationally and internationally.
On this website, you will find more information about Power Soccer, USPSA, organizational initiatives, and Power Soccer Teams. You will also find photos, videos, important downloads, and more! Individual team homepages, tournament information, game scores and other statistics are available on our other website at: http://www.USPSATeams.org.

From Friday, March 5th to Saturday March 6th, the Atlanta teams, the Tigers and the Synergy, hosted the South Eastern Regional Tournament for 2010. In pool play, each team played all of the other teams, which brought back some old rivalries, like the one between the Tampa Thunder and the Tampa Bay Crossfire. Throughout all but one of the games, the Synergy clearly dominated in goals scored, while the opposing teams couldn't seem to get past the Synergy defense to score. The Tidewater Piranahs were, in fact, the only team to score against the Synergy, but it still wasn't enough to win the game. The Synergy scored seven goals, and the Piranhas scored twice on the Synergy.
