What is the size & weight of an official Power Soccer Ball?
The newly ratified rules of International Powerchair Football, which have been accepted by the USPSA starting the 2006-2007 season, state that a Power Soccer ball should have a diameter of 12” to 14". The new Aero-Force Soccer balls are approx. 13" in diameter and conform with these newly adopted rules.

Will the PS-Force Soccer Guard mount onto my Permobil power chair?
This depends…if your chair has standard leg-rests that mount onto the left and right side of your chair, then yes. However, if you have center-mount footplates or some other variation thereof, you chair is generally not compatible with this soccer guard. However, many of our customers have devised creative methods for attaching these guards to Permobil chairs with the use of brackets and other commonly found hardware.
On another note, Permobil wheelchairs and other wheelchairs that have large front or mid wheels are at a greater risk of flipping over during play, because these large wheels have a tendency of gripping and climbing over the ball, causing the chair to flip. Power chairs with medium to small wheels in the rear of the chair are recommended by PowerSoccerShop.com.

Do I need a Power Soccer Guard to play Power Soccer?
Yes! A soccer guard is the most important piece of equipment in Power Soccer and is required by every organized league in the world. A guard not only protects your feet, your legs, and your chair, but it also allows you to maneuver and kick the ball.

Is the PS-Force Soccer Guard legal for tournament play?
Yes, indeed! The guard follows all the rules and regulations put forth by the USPSA and FIPFA. It is completely adjustable to allow for proper height off the floor & distance from your feet. Its shape does not contain any notches or grooves that allow for illegal cradling of the ball. And the smooth, hard plastic material is sturdy but flexible enough to help reduce the potential damage that can occur when playing Power Soccer. It also does not grip the ball, allowing it to roll freely.

Do you still sell any of the 18" Power Soccer Balls?
We no longer carry 18 inch balls due to the change in rules and the rapid adaptation of many programs to these new rules.
