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 can tape a plastic T-shaped stick to the front of their powerchair to hit the ball. Other athletes may use a light-weight floorball stick.
To play Powerchair Hockey the athlete must use a powerchair for daily mobility. Participants include persons with quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, cerebral palsy, hand trauma, stroke, spinal cord injury and other disabilities.
Powerchair Sports Victoria provides adaptive and inclusive Powerchair Hockey programs that enable anyone who uses a powerchair for daily mobility to get involved.
