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.

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.
The 2007 USPSA National Power Soccer Tournament

With a field of eight teams that included the Atlanta Synergy and Circle City Rollers, high expectations flowed through the veins of every athlete, coach and fan who attended the three-day tournament.
