Developing Power Soccer in CT
Our nonprofit's first project is the development of power soccer in the state of Connecticut. We are currently working to form the state's first ever team, allowing more individuals to access the sport.
What is Power Soccer?
Power soccer is the first team sport ever developed specifically for wheelchair users. It is played 4v4 on a basketbabll court using specially designed chairs called a "strikeforce" to maneuver the ball.

Inspiration behind the program
Founder and CEO, Dana Parrott has been playing power soccer competitively for the past seven years. Due to the lack of power soccer presence in Connecticut, she drives four hours (one way!) to practice with her current team, CNY United.
​​
After being inspired through participation in U.S. Soccer ADAPT and THRIVE Leadership Program in partnership with Integrated Dreams, Made for More was created with a mission to help more individuals get involved in the sport, and spread the message that everyone is made for more. By strategically devloping sustainable power soccer programs in Connecticut and beyond, our team at Made for More are confident that we will be successful.
​
This is our goal:
Create Connecticut's first Power Soccer team that will play in competitive tournaments in the Northeast, and eventually compete at the national level, where athletes can experience all the incredible parts of this game and unlock their greatest potential.
