Inhaltsangabe

Sports are ubiquitous in American society, and given their prominence in the culture, it is easy to understand how most youth in the United States face pressure to participate in organized sports. Using ethnographic research conducted while attending practices, games, and social functions of power soccer - the first competitive team sport specifically designed for electric wheelchair users, now played in more than 30 countries - Jeffress builds a strong case that electric wheelchair users deserve more opportunity to play sports.
