HUNTINGTON, Ind. (WANE) - The Turnstone Flyers won a national tournament in Huntington Saturday. It's the Founder's Cup U.S. Power Soccer Tournament.

Five different teams from Indiana, Georgia and Minnesota were competing to be national champions.

Power soccer is a wheelchair sport created for those who use power chairs.

This is the first year Turnstone hosted the national event.

"We promote our services to the public because we want people to accept people with disabilities and we also want to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to compete," said Tina Acosta with Turnstone.

The Turnstone Flyers are now the national champions in the Founders Cup Division.
