🥅 Midway through National Adaptive Soccer Camp, we pulled our power soccer and blind soccer coaches aside for their thoughts on each other’s respective sports. This was a unique weekend where Katie Kensy and Jess Oliff from power soccer joined alongside blind soccer coaches John “Moose” Marquez and Abigail Paige for pre-camp training activities and team bonding.
One of the most unique and impactful aspects of UASA programs are the pan-disability lessons that go far beyond any soccer pitch. We love seeing our community share and learn from one another. ⚽️💛
Comment your thoughts on power soccer and blind soccer. Have you witnessed either in person?
Video Description:
Coaches from different pathways try out amputee soccer. Power soccer coaches are shown speaking to their athletes.
Blind soccer athletes perform fundamental ball-handling drills such as dribbling with short, controlled kicks that keep the loud ball within leg’s reach. During a match, Athlete Evan Martinez slyly dribbles up field past multiple defenders.
Power soccer athletes Dana and Jenna duel over possession. Ruby performs a spin-kick to get past Dana, but the ball is deflected back down the court.
