Start Playing Power Soccer | How to Get Involved

Your Roadmap to Playing Power Soccer

Getting started with power soccer is simple—whether there’s a team nearby or you’re ready to bring the sport to your community, we’ve got you covered.

Option 1: Join a Local Team

We are in cities across many US states. Check the USPSA Team Listing to locate nearby programs. Contact the team to let them know you’re interested, then visit a practice or competition to see the sport in action.

Our teams love welcoming new players, coaches, and volunteers to the power soccer community!

Option 2: Start a Program in Your Area

If there’s no team nearby, USPSA can help you bring power soccer to your community:

Host a Clinic: Work with a Regional Director to plan and organize a power soccer clinic. They’ll provide guidance, coordinate resources, and even help run the event. Learn more below.
Build Your Team: Use the connections and resources from your clinic to launch a new program. Download our Power Soccer Clinic Hosting Guide for everything you need to get started.

Hosting a power soccer clinic is a fantastic way to introduce this dynamic sport to your community. USPSA is here to guide you through every step, ensuring a successful and impactful event.

What USPSA Provides:

Professional clinic trainers and skilled athletes to lead the event.

All necessary equipment, including footguards, balls, cones, and pinnies.

Custom flyers and press releases to promote your event locally.

Training materials, including a drill booklet and waivers.

Online promotion via USPSA website and social media.

What You Need to Do as a Host:

Secure a Facility: Ensure the venue is accessible, with a smooth surface and adequate space for play (95’ x 50’). A gymnasium with accessible parking and restrooms is ideal.

Promote Your Clinic: Distribute promotional materials to rehab hospitals, schools, wheelchair vendors, and community organizations. Engage local media and community groups for support.

Coordinate Logistics: Collect RSVPs, organize volunteers, and ensure a sign-in table is set up. Provide light refreshments if the clinic spans mealtimes.

Engage Your Community: Involve local therapists, soccer clubs, and other organizations that can contribute to building a long-term program.
