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! Returning visitors will notice that this is a brand new design for the USPSA website. The IT Committee and Executive Board have collaborated to turn the website into a more organizationally-focused resource for players and supporters. We believe this change will be extremely beneficial to all visitors! Team homepages, scores and statistics will still be available on our previous homepage at: http://www.USPSATeams.org. |

CDC CONCURS WITH MDA'S DECISION TO CANCEL SUMMER CAMPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, GIVES USPSA CAUSE FOR CONCERN...
Carmel, IN - July 2, 2009 -
As a result of the cancellation of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) camps this summer, the USPSA has assessed and evaluated the risk of holding the power soccer camp at Camp Courage in August. Upon our investigation, the CDC (Center for Disease Control), has agreed with MDA's decision to cancel their camps as a result of H1N1 (swine flu) virus. A number of campers who attended MDA camps at the beginning of the summer contracted the virus. Many of our members/athletes are in a high risk category and susceptible to serious dangers if exposed to the virus.
At this point in time, the USPSA will follow the CDC prudent direction and recommendation as it relates to power soccer camp at Camp Courage. Camp Courage is not the source of concern and has received a clean bill of health but the bringing together of "at risk" persons in close proximity for the camp is what lends itself to force us to pause. Camps have continued at Camp Courage thus far and the power soccer camp is still scheduled, should you choose to attend.
This is clearly a family decision. I feel it is the obligation of the USPSA to communicate its concern and potential risk in light of the pandemic declared by the CDC and World Health Organization.
The Power Soccer Camp schedule will not change and programs will move forward as planned. The USPSA will not have any officials attending the camp in an official capacity.
