Our youth programs support CTE goals and provide powerful STEM pathways that create career-ready graduates.
Reasons to Join:
STEM-Focused Classroom & Team Aviation/Robotics Competition.
The U.S. Drone Soccer program is implemented as classroom enrichment and after-school competitive clubs. Educators & mentors lead students to build their aircraft then program the flight control systems, to then fly and innovate on a co-ed team. Full-contact gameplay takes place inside a netted arena that fits in any school gymnasium or atrium.
It's Growing Rapidly As More & More Educators Realize The Impact We Have On Students.
Over 220 institutions have joined our nationwide league with competitions happening across the country. U.S. Drone Soccer serves as a feeder program for advanced aviation courses and careers.
Advanced Drone Certification for Educators
U.S. Drone Soccer provides Professional Development combining best practices from both the aerospace industry and youth athletics. We want to help teachers earn CTE accreditation to fund lasting aviation pathways.
This early foundation paves the way to earning a FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot License as preparation for their future - we offer life-changing opportunities to young people.
Your Students Will Be Industry Ready and Raring to Go at Graduation
The airline industry is cancelling thousands of flights due to critically understaffed in high-paying technical positions. Drone operators are also in high demand.
Students engaged with U.S. Drone Soccer are the employees of the future, they are inspired to work hard, think hard, while operating on a team.
At U.S. Drone Soccer, all lessons are taught following FAA Crew Resource Management principles, how professionals in the aerospace industry collaborate and apply engineering problem solving in high stress environments. Students engage with open-source drone technology that is modular and reparable.
Comprehensive Aviation Pathways
We complete aviation pathways from college to elementary so that every student can visualize their future. Collegiate Drone Soccer programs train undergraduate students who serve as role-models, coaches, and referees for precollegiate outreach. High School teams can incentivize juniors and seniors to earn their FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate to be hired as camp counselors for middle and elementary programs. This community model provides a robust support system for educators and an active competitive league for students
