It's not your average soccer team! Long Beach school are mastering E-sport of Drone soccer, which combines sports competition with engineering, technology skills.The sky's the limit for these high school soccer players, quite literally.The Sato Academy of Math and Science in Long Beach says they're the first school in Southern California to form a drone soccer team.
The idea to start a team at the school came from Albert Gallo, an aerospace engineering teacher who is also the coach of the school's drone soccer team "This is a 10-by-10-by-20 arena and the reason for the arena is this is a full contact sport where the drones can hit each other as much as they want to. When they do hit each other, the drone kind of shakes for a little bit and it kind of takes off," said Gallo.
"I think drone soccer is just an amazing competition and sport that people can get into, and it's just a great learning experience. From learning how to build a drone, how to code them, getting your foot in the door on the new aviation industry, it's prominently rising," said senior Michael Riostolano.
These students use grants and raise money for their equipment through community events. They're hoping more schools and students decide to compete in the E-sport.
