Walnut Street YMCA to Hold First Drone Soccer Match

The first drone soccer match at the Walnut Street YMCA between the DE Drone School and Dronversity is scheduled for Saturday, May 27th at 10 a.m. The Y launched the Drone Soccer program in February, which allows students to learn about aviation, flight and STEAM through a sport. Drone soccer is an indoor team sport where radio-controlled quadcopters are flown by teams of five players within a netted arena. Before competitions, students must build, program, fly and repair the drones.

The Y, in partnership with the United Way, is excited to offer this program which exposes teens to different career paths that are available through science, technology and aviation. You can find more information about this new and exciting sport at dedronesoccer.com

WHEN: Saturday, May 27th at 10 a.m.

WHERE:
Walnut Street YMCA
1000 North Walnut Street
Wilmington, DE 19801
