Boston Brakers Presentation

Thank you to everyone who attended our October SOTA meeting, where we heard from several coaches and players from the Boston Brakers- our local power wheelchair soccer team! They presented information on the sport’s history, adaptive equipment used, rules of the game, and how OT can play a role in faciliating player’s engagement. A copy of their presentation is linked below, along with many resources to learn more about the power wheelchair soccer world.

While their playing schedule has been altered by COVID, there are still ways for volunteers to get involved virtually and in person in the future! Anyone who wants more information about the organization or how to get involved, feel free to reach out to Steve Hirsch (steven.hirsch@tufts.edu), one of the players and a professor at Tufts!
