Sport Aberdeen are looking for children and young adults who use a powered wheelchair to join a new sports team.
Powerchair football, which is a relatively new sport world wide, is played indoors in small teams.
Players have a special ‘striker’ attached to their chair which allows them to manoeuvre, control the ball and score goals.
Volunteer football coach Marcus Brown said: “We are extremely excited about the growth of powerchair football in Aberdeen and are looking for new players to join in so that we can enter a squad into next seasons National League.
“Even if you aren’t keen on competitive sport, these sessions are a great way to practice your skills, meet new friends and have fun.”
Finlay Sangster, 8, who plays the sport said: “I really enjoy it, it helps keep me fit, it lets me play my favourite sport and I’ve made some great new friends.”
His mother, Gail Sangster, added: “I love the fact that it’s a sport that Finlay can be fully involved in rather than sitting on the side-lines spectating.
“Most children Finlay’s age are at clubs and groups after school and weekends, it is nice for us to experience that side of family life and for Finlay to be involved in an activity which allows him to meet new friends.”
Sport Aberdeen is also offering the opportunity to play boccia, a paralympic sport designed specifically for players with a physical disability that affects their motor function.
Powerchair football sessions take place fortnightly on a Saturday, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm at Sheddocksley Sports Centre.
