THE RULES

Power soccer combines soccer strategy with chair speed and the famous 2-on-1 rule.

The Court

Played on a regulation basketball court. Goals are 6 meters wide. A 13-inch soccer ball is used.

Teams

Four players per team on court: typically 2 defenders, 1 midfielder, and 1 forward. Unlimited substitutions.

The 2-on-1 Rule

Only two defenders may be within 3 meters of the ball and their goal line simultaneously. This creates fast breaks and strategic play.

Scoring

Goals must be scored from contact with the footguard attached to the chair — not hands or lap.

Speed Limits

Chairs are speed-limited for safety, typically around 6 mph, but the action feels full-throttle.

Fouls & Spinning

Spinning (rotating more than 360° without the ball) and dangerous play are penalized. Free kicks restart play.
