Colorado Rolling Rapids
OUR STORY
The only team sport in the world where power chair users compete completely on their own.
POWER SOCCER CHANGES EVERYTHING
Wheelchair power soccer is the only sport in the world where power chair users can play competitively on a team — completely on their own. If you were confined to a power chair, what outlet would you have to compete, sweat, and be part of a team? For most, there's nothing. Power soccer fills that void.
Life in a power chair often means isolation. Power soccer tears through that barrier — bringing players together to build teams, compete, socialize, and support one another's mental and physical well-being. On court, they control their own chair, their own moves, their own shots.
BRINGS OUT THE ATHLETE
Heart rates spike. Reflexes sharpen. Adrenaline pumps at full speed. Strategy, teamwork, quick decision-making — this is fast, physical, competitive sport, and they love it. Once players taste nationals, they catch the fire and build confidence they've never had before.
BARRIERS THEY OVERCOME
Before they even roll onto the court, athletes face obstacles most people never think about:
- People assuming they don't have the skill
- Equipment that's inadequate or hard to maintain
- Few accessible practice facilities
- Distance and lack of transportation
- No dedicated coach
- No one available to fix or adjust their chairs
- Shortage of players to practice with
- Lack of a caregiver to help with transfers or travel
- High costs of specialized chairs and guards
- Limited funds for gym rental or tournament travel
For these players, power soccer is more than a sport. It's freedom.
