One Knox Power Soccer:  Spring Session (April 2nd to June 25th)
Power Soccer is an adapted form of soccer using Power Wheelchairs with metal guards attached to the front.  We play 4-on-4 attacking, defending, and spin-kicking a 13-inch diameter ball on a full-size basketball court in a fun and challenging form of soccer.  We provide chairs for use, but we do not offer any one-on-one care.  Participants will need a family member or support staff to assist with any transfer or hygiene needs.
