As summer draws near, it means hot weather and long days, but it also means the season for Power soccer. Power soccer is a competitive team sport in which players maneuver power wheelchairs equipped with a specialized metal footguard. Two teams of four players each, use their wheelchairs and these footguards to move an oversized soccer ball around a basketball court. The rules of power soccer are similar to traditional soccer, and the team that scores the most number of points after two twenty-minute halves wins the game.

For more, we’re joined by two guests, Tyler Czapkay is a current player of power soccer, and Julie Fuller is a former power soccer coach. And our own co-host, Alexa Guerrero, played power soccer from 2009 to 2018.
