PHILADELPHIA DRONE SOCCER SUMMER LEAGUE

What is drone soccer?

Drone soccer is the only educational robotics competition that is also an internationally sanctioned team sport by the World Air Sports Federation. Opposing teams fly RC quadcopter drones in protective cages designed for full-contact game play as they ram and block each other in midair.

What are the therapeutic benefits to drone soccer?

There can be many therapeutic benefits to engaging in drone soccer. Some potential therapeutic benefits include:

Physical exercise: Playing drone soccer involves physical movement, such as controlling the drone and participating in the game. This physical activity can contribute to improved fitness, coordination, and motor skills.

• Motor skills development: Operating a remote control and maneuvering a drone requires fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Playing drone soccer can help individuals improve their motor skills, such as precision, dexterity and spatial awareness.
• Social interaction and communication: Drone soccer is typically played in teams, fostering social interaction and teamwork. It provides opportunities for individuals to engage with teammates, communicate strategies, and develop social skills like cooperation, turn-taking and effective communication.
• Cognitive stimulation: Drone soccer requires strategic thinking, quick decision-making and coordination. Engaging in the game can stimulate cognitive processes, enhance problem-solving abilities, and improve focus and attention.
• Sensory stimulation: The visual and auditory aspects of drone soccer, such as the movement and sound of the drones, can provide sensory stimulation. This can be engaging and enjoyable for individuals, especially those who have a heightened interest in sensory input.
• Emotional well-being: Participating in drone soccer can promote relaxation, stress relief, and emotional well-being. It can serve as a therapeutic outlet, allowing individuals to enjoy a fun activity, reduce anxiety, and boost self-confidence.

However, it's important to note that the therapeutic benefits can vary for each individual and it's crucial to consider their specific needs, preferences and abilities. Consulting with professionals, such as occupational therapists or recreational therapists, can help tailor the activity to maximize its therapeutic benefits for individuals.
