New Zealand Drone Soccer Association (DSNZ), officially registered as Drone Soccer New Zealand Incorporated, is a youth innovation ecosystem that brings together technology, sport, education, and innovation to prepare young people for the future. 

We believe young people learn best when they are inspired, challenged, and empowered to create.
