Power Up the Sport Experience: Quality Participation in Powerchair Sport

Published: December 2025

What does quality participation look like in powerchair sport?

Quality participation happens when athletes view their involvement in sport as satisfying and enjoyable and experience outcomes they consider important.

Power Up the Sport Experience demonstrates the foundations of quality participation for powerchair sport programs and the game plan to get started.

Looking to do a deep dive? The Powerchair Sport Playbook and the Powerchair Sport Blueprint are great resources to explore these concepts and lived experiences in detail. 

Looking for additional information and support? 

The resources were developed as a collaborative project with the Canadian Disability Participation Project 2.0 and community partners to exemplify quality participation opportunities in powerchair sport programs from the community to elite levels. 

PowerHockey Canada, Boccia Canada, and Powerchair Soccer Canada are also resources to help you get involved in powerchair sport programs.
