Frequently Asked Questions
If your question wasn’t answered here, we’d love to help! Please feel free to contact us for more information or personalized assistance. Our team is here to guide you through every step of starting or joining a volt hockey team.
Volt hockey is a competitive, adaptive team sport designed for individuals with physical disabilities, particularly those who use power wheelchairs. Players use specially designed motorized chairs equipped with paddles to maneuver a ball and score goals on a basketball court. To learn more about gameplay and the rules, visit our Gameplay and Rules & Regulations pages.
While volt hockey was originally created for individuals with muscular dystrophy and power wheelchair users, anyone with a disability that limits their mobility is welcome to play. There are no international guidelines or restrictions on specific disability requirements for tournament participation.
Players as young as 5 and as old as 40 have played volt hockey! The only requirement is the ability to safely drive a power wheelchair. Keep in mind that individual teams may have age requirements, so it’s best to reach out directly to a team near you for more information.
Each team requires:
Volt hockey chairs (we recommend 8 per team)
Batteries and chargers
Volt hockey balls
A rink boundary
Two goals/nets
