We’re still buzzing after our third Power Hockey Taster Session, hosted in collaboration with the GB Power Hockey Association. This fast, inclusive, full-contact sport has been gaining national attention, even being showcased at last month’s Wheelchair Rugby League Grand Final live on Sky Sports — and now Warrington is proud to play its part in growing the game.
Power Hockey is more than just sport. The GB Power Hockey Association describes it as giving “physically disabled people, many with life-limiting impairments, a chance to play competitive sport similar to what they see on the rugby field.” At the Warrington Wolves Community Foundation, we’re thrilled to bring this opportunity to our town, opening doors for people to be active, compete, and belong.
The session saw a diverse range of participants from across our Foundation programmes, including:
Chris from our new SEND Day Provision
Issac and Freddie, twins from the Junior Physical Disability Rugby League team
Members from our Touch Rugby sessions
Lucas, from our LD programme, also came to support the session
Special thanks also go to Pete Wyman and Team Greenbank Sports Academy Liverpool for their help in making the session run smoothly.
A huge shout-out to Eva, Alan, and Leam, who returned after attending our first taster session — their energy and smiles continue to inspire everyone around them. And of course, Wolfie joined in the fun, showing off some impressive Power Hockey skills and bringing plenty of laughs to the court!
We’re excited to announce that the Warrington Wolves Community Foundation will be entering a couple of teams into the Slater Gordon Power Hockey Cup 2025, on Sunday 2nd November.
If you’re interested in taking part, please contact Amanda, Disability Manager at AmandaHunt@WarringtonWolvesFoundation.com.
If you’d like to try Power Hockey for yourself, our next Taster Session (date TBC) is coming soon! We’ve set up a new interest form so you can get first chance at getting in the chairs and taking part:

This session is also part of the RFL Week of Social Impact, celebrating the ways rugby league connects and inspires communities.
At the Warrington Wolves Community Foundation, our mission is simple: to make Warrington happier, healthier, and more connected. Seeing participants from across our programmes come together, share the same pitch, and enjoy the game is exactly what that looks like in action.
