The 2008 USPSA National Tournament is a Hit!
As I rolled my way through the double doors, I found myself surrounded by wheelchairs. More than 100 people in electric wheelchairs made their way around me as I stared in awe at what was before me.
Normally, when someone sees so many chairs in one place, you expect hospital beds, I.V. poles and ventilators to not be far behind.
But this was far from the case.
Instead of hearing orders from nurses and doctors, I heard cheers from coaches and fans. Instead of staring intently at heart monitors, I quickly glanced at the huge, electric scoreboards. Instead of feeling somber, I was filled with joy and excitement. So what was I witnessing?
It was the 2008 USPSA Power Soccer National Tournament.
Held this past June at the Suwanee Sports Academy near Atlanta, GA, this year’s tournament saw eight division one and eight division two squads fighting for national bragging rights and a 2008 USPSA Championship.
