Our Mission
Vancouver Power Soccer is dedicated to providing power wheelchair athletes of all ages across the Lower Mainland with access to competitive, inclusive, and empowering sports programming. We foster independence, athletic excellence, and strong community connections by breaking down barriers to adaptive sport.

Power soccer is specifically designed for youth and adults who use power wheelchairs for daily mobility or athletic participation. The sport is open to individuals with a wide range of physical disabilities, including:
Quadriplegia / Spinal Cord Injuries
Cerebral Palsy
Muscular Dystrophy
Multiple Sclerosis & Arthrogryposis
Other physical conditions affecting upper and lower body mobility
Callout Note: "No prior sports experience is required. We welcome players ranging from first-time recreational athletes to experienced competitors!"

Specialized Equipment & Home Court
Our program operates out of the fully accessible gym at Killarney Community Centre in Vancouver.
Power soccer utilizes specialized power wheelchairs equipped with protective footguards designed to strike and pass an oversized 13-inch soccer ball. GVEWSS maintains a very limited inventory of loaner equipment—including select footguards and a single P200 power chair—to assist new athletes entering the sport. Loaner equipment is subject to availability and assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so please contact us prior to your first practice to confirm availability.
