DRONE SOCCER
Jay Smith, Executive Editor | jays@modelaircraft.org
ON THE COVER of the Summer 2019 issue of Park Pilot, I can be seen “bowling” with a Graupner Droneball Sweeper. I reviewed the Droneball in that issue. It was completely different from any other model aircraft that I had ever flown, and the ability to bowl with it, shoot baskets, goals, or bounce it off the ground made it fun. I realized that it would be even more fun if I were flying with others. In the review, I stated, “Adding more Droneballs to the mix allows for combat and several team sport options.”
We now have a new
Special Interest Group
that is doing just that. It is called United
States Drone Soccer.
We now have a new Special Interest Group (SIG) that is doing just that. It is called United States Drone Soccer (www.dronesoccer.us). Not only has it become a sport, but the group is also very involved in education and is recognized by the World Air Sports Federation.
To learn more about AMA’s newest SIG, be sure to take a look at the feature article starting on page 18. Read more about U.S. Drone Soccer President and CEO David Roberts in “I Am the AMA.”
