Get ready for the ultimate indoor team sport with our drone soccer classes! In this thrilling game, two five-player teams battle it out in a netted arena, using radio-controlled quadcopter drones in protective shields designed for collisions. Your mission? Ram, block, and outmaneuver the opposing team to prevent them from scoring while your striker drone makes a play for victory. Before you take to the air, you’ll learn to build, program, fly and repair these high-performance drones. Our comprehensive “Build & Fly” class covers essential engineering skills, aeronautical concepts, FAA regulations, and practical flying techniques. Plus, you’ll gain invaluable life skills that can open doors to exciting careers in the booming drone pilot industry.
The Drone Soccer program has two kinds of classes – Build & Fly and Skills Practice. Build & Fly is intended for new pilots to learn to build, fly, and repair their drones. Skills Practice is ONLY available for students who have already been through the Build & Fly class.
THE BUILD/FLY CLASS IS NOW FULL.
