Eesti Elektriratastooli Saalihoki Klubi

What Eesti Elektriratastooli Saalihoki Klubi does

Eesti Elektriratastooli Saalihoki Klubi (MTÜ, registry code 80225500) is an Estonian non-profit association founded in 2005 and based in Tallinn. It is the sole organizer of electric wheelchair floorball (ERTS / elektriratastooli saalihoki) in Estonia — an adapted team sport in which players use custom-modified electric wheelchairs and either floorball sticks or T-shaped paddles attached to the chair to control the ball. The sport is positioned as one of the few team sports accessible to people with very limited mobility; any player who can drive an electric wheelchair can participate, and men and women play together without age differentiation. The club maintains a fleet of 13-14 hand-modified electric wheelchairs with individualized driving characteristics, ranging from slower beginner setups to faster, competition-tuned chairs, and aims for parity with European and World Championship-level equipment.

The club's competitive team, Estonian Wolves, has participated in the Finland-Estonia powerchair hockey joint league since 2015 and has competed in tournaments in the Netherlands and Germany, with the stated goal of reaching European and World Championships. Regular training sessions are held on Sundays 17:00-19:00 at Mahtra Primary School in Tallinn, with roughly 10-15 active players including founding members and recent joiners. Head coach Sören Jõõras has been with the club for over 13 years, providing long-tenured continuity in coaching and equipment development.

As a registered non-profit (MTÜ) on the Estonian list of tax-benefit-eligible organizations, the club is funded through membership contributions, donations (which are tax-deductible for donors), and grants from supporting organizations including the Estonian Paralympic Committee, the Estonian Cultural Endowment (Eesti Kultuurkapital), and G4S Sports Club, with equipment suppliers such as INVARU.EE and AKULADU.EE providing in-kind support. Outreach is conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube @EstonianWolves) and direct contact via Messenger or email.
