Getting Started
The Dribbleup Smart Soccer Ball connects with the Dribbleup app to turn soccer practice into a dynamic, at-home training experience. When scanned, the app tracks movement and gives real-time feedback during live and on-demand drills designed to improve ball control, footwork, and overall performance.
To begin, you’ll need:
A Dribbleup Smart Soccer Ball
A phone or tablet (iOS 13+ or Android 12+)
The Dribbleup app downloaded and installed
A Dribbleup All-Access Membership for full access to training sessions
Note: The Smart Soccer Ball doesn’t use sensors or Bluetooth—it’s recognized visually by the app using your device’s camera.
Setting Up
Inflate your ball
Your soccer ball is shipped inflated to regulation pressure, but pressure may shift in transit.
Size 4 or Size 5 Soccer Ball: 8.5–15.6 PSI
Use a standard sports ball pump with a needle to make any needed adjustments.
Set up your space
Find a well-lit area with at least 6 feet (2 meters) of space. Place your phone or tablet securely on a stand and angle the camera toward your feet and the ball. Avoid backlighting and make sure the surface is smooth and safe for ball movement.
Open the app and scan your ball
Follow the in-app prompts to scan your soccer ball. Make sure the entire ball stays within the on-screen circle during scanning for best results.
Choosing the Right Ball Size
Size 4 Soccer Ball: Recommended for players 12 and under
