Melbourne Hunters

Melbourne Hunters Powerchair Team

The Melbourne Hunters are a powerchair hockey team that competes in the Victorian Powerchair League which is facilitated by Powerchair Sports Victoria. 

Powerchair Hockey is a modified version of floorball for powerchair users. The sport is played on an indoor basketball court and there are two teams of five players. A barrier surrounds the court which allows players to rebound the ball.
 

A light-weight plastic ball is used during play. Players with very limited range and movement use a plastic T-shaped stick that mounts the front of their powerchair to hit the ball. Other athletes may use a lightweight floorball stick.

Our club welcomes all ages, all genders, and all abilities to join us. You can keep up-to-date with the team’s activities on our Facebook page.
