Wheelchair Soccer is an indoor sport designed for people who use power wheelchairs. The chairs are adapted by placing a large basket on the front. The grill serves as a way to push the ball around, and a way to bash into your opponent, although I dont think you are allowed to do so.

The Mesa Association of Sports for the Disabled(MASD)sponsored the event which featured three local teams and a fourth team from Minnesota. The event was held at Arizona State University’s gym. The gym has vanilla walls that are just terrible for photography. Add fluorescent lighting and nothing looks like the right color.
