Getting Started

The Dribbleup Smart Baseball Glove connects with the Dribbleup app to create an interactive, at-home training experience for baseball and softball players. With real-time tracking and expert-led drills, players can sharpen their fielding skills—no partner required.

To begin, you’ll need:

  • A phone or tablet (iOS 13+ or Android 12+)

  • The Dribbleup app downloaded and installed

  • A Dribbleup All-Access Membership to unlock all training sessions

Note: The glove is scanned visually by the app using your device’s camera. No sensors or Bluetooth needed.

Setting Up
