Soccer

Soccer is a new sport in the world of CCPSA sports. Unlike standard soccer CP soccer has slight modifications to make the game more exciting and to accommodate the abilities of the athletes. For example, there is no off side law, the field is smaller, the goals are shorter and narrower and throw-in's may be made with one arm. Each team on the field consists of up to 7 players, one of player being the goal keeper. The duration of the game is 30 minutes each half and a half time interval consists of a 15 minute break. The section referring to a player returning the ball to her/his goal shall not apply.

This game involves incredible teamwork, coordination and thinking fast on your feet. CP5 to CP8 athletes participate in this sport. We welcome you to join us in this sport! Please feel free to contact your provincial affiliate.
