Drone Soccer - About the Game

 Students engineer drones and fly them during contests.

• Drone soccer is played in a 20 m x 10 m “flying zone” or net.
• A match has 3-5 players on each team and 3 sets lasting 3 minutes each.
• Drones are operated by pilots (students with controllers) who have learned how to prepare and repair drones.
• One player on each team (known as the “Striker”) can score by flying their drone through the circular goal post.
• The rest of the players help their team score and work to prevent the other team from scoring.
