About this episode
This episode explores the world of drone soccer with its founders and discusses its impact on youth and community events.
In this episode, we sit down with Charlotte Cain, founder of Georgia’s first drone soccer league, and David Roberts, founder and president of U.S. Drone Soccer, to explore the fast-growing world of drone soccer and its impact on the next generation. Charlotte and David shares their journey into the sport and gives an inside look at how drone soccer works, from team dynamics to the skills students develop as they evolve into aerospace problem-solvers. We also look ahead to the future of drone soccer and preview the upcoming April 18 game.
