Tampa Thunder takes power wheelchair soccer by storm

Safety Harbor, Florida - You may not have heard of power wheelchair soccer, but for those who play, it has become addictive. For the last three years the Tampa Thunder have been part of a growing sport that has offered an athletic outlet for those in wheelchairs.

Players like Elio Navarro, who has muscular dystrophy, and has been wheelchair bound since he was 9. He says the sport is allowing him to do think he never thought possible.

"We never had a chance to go and play in little league soccer we didn't have all that opportunities that other able bodied kids have, and now we are able to learn all those important lessons that sports teaches you."
