General Rules


  • The ball must be moved by the wheelchair--not by the hand or foot of a player or by contact with a player's body, unless it is by accident. Intentionally maneuvering the ball with any part of a player's body is a violation.
  • Only two players from each team and the goal keeper are allowed in the goal zone at any given time.
  • Any ball that goes out of bounds is hit-in by the team not responsible for putting the ball out of bounds, at the point along the sideline where it left the court.
  • Fouls result in free kicks and penalty kicks, depending on the severity of the foul.

Minor fouls include:

  • Holding: physically restraining the movement of an opponent's wheelchair.
  • Clipping: contacting an opponent's wheelchair on the side.
  • Redirecting: changing the direction of the opponent's wheelchair by pushing directly against it.
  • Backing up: when a player's wheelchair travels backward in a straight line with all four wheels rotating backwards. Only the goalie is allowed to go in reverse.
  • Hand ball: intentionally moving the ball with hands or feet.
  • Illegal substitution: player entering the court without the referee's permission.
  • Goal zone violation: a team has more than the allotted number of players in the goal zone.

Major fouls include:

  • Charging: a player ramming his chair in to that of another player who has position.
  • Goal tending: any player with one wheel over the goal line.
  • Unsportsmanlike conduct: deliberate disrespect to the spirit of the game.

The complete Rules and Regulations for power soccer are on the National Power Soccer Association's website.
