The DFS Drone Soccer League is set to launch a high-energy, high-tech twist on traditional team sports, bringing the thrill of competitive drone piloting to our community. Imagine players navigating flying drones inside protective spheres, battling mid-air to score goals in a fast-paced arena—equal parts soccer match and aerial dogfight. It’s hands-on STEM education disguised as pure adrenaline, giving kids and adults alike a chance to build, program, and pilot their own drones while working as a team. The league will ignite local interest in cutting-edge technology, create new pathways for skill development, and offer families an electrifying new reason to cheer on the sidelines—marking a bold step forward for innovation and community fun.

It's For ALL Ages!
Drone Soccer is basically Rocket League with real drones— equal parts chaos, precision, and pure fun. Here’s how it works: each team has multiple pilots who fly small drones protected inside durable spherical cages. The goal? Fly your drone through a hoop-shaped goal while your opponents try to block you—think bumper cars meet soccer, but in mid-air.
Games are played inside a netted arena (so drones don’t go kamikaze into spectators). One drone per team is designated as the “Striker” and only the Striker can score by passing through the opposing goal hoop. Teammates act as blockers, defenders, and sometimes aggressive battering rams. Players must master piloting, tactics, and teamwork—collisions are part of the game, but controlled flying is how you win.
Matches are fast, usually 3 minutes per round, with multiple rounds per game. It’s equal parts sport and STEM project—students learn to repair, program, and upgrade their drones. Bottom line: it’s the only sport where crashing is expected and rebuilding is half the fun.
