Experience the fast-paced and dynamic version of football with Parasport 360: Discover Powerchair Football in Singapore. Participants utilize specialized electric wheelchairs, known as powerchairs, to engage in a modified soccer game. These powerchairs are equipped with foot guards at the front, enabling players to kick the ball. This event is open to individuals aged 6 and above with physical impairments such as muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, quadriplegia, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or general muscle weakness.
Sessions take place once a month on Saturday mornings at the Handicaps Welfare Association in Singapore, with a shift to every first Saturday of the month starting from May onwards. Participation is free, with participants required to transfer from their wheelchair to the powerchair to partake in the sport. It is advisable to have a parent or caregiver present to assist with the transfer, although staff and volunteers are available to help.
Complimentary wheelchair-accessible shuttle services are provided between Boon Keng/Mountbatten MRT station and the venue. Weather permitting, the event is held outdoors, and in case of unfavorable conditions, sessions may be postponed. For inquiries, please reach out to Ryna at community@sdsc.org.sg.
