WANTED: Coaches for Power Chair League
The Saskatoon Power Chair league is looking for coaches and it could be you!
An honorarium may available.
Please reach out to executivedirector@saskatoonadultsoccer.com if you have any questions or if you are interested in supporting the league as a Coach.
Power Chair Soccer is exactly how it sounds: players use powerchairs equipped with footguards to play soccer.
The footguards make it possible to pass, shoot and carry the ball.
The games are played on hard courts with each team consisting of 4 players at one time - including the goalkeeper.
Games are 40 minutes with two 20 minute halves.
The ball has a diameter of 13" and weighs 2lbs. The size and weight prevent the ball from lifting off the ground during play.
