The DribbleUp Soccer Ball Guide is written for parents who are considering getting the smart ball as a soccer gift idea.

We decided to put it all into one guide that would hopefully help answer those questions. We've been using the smart ball for about two years so we've head lots of [...]

The Dribble Up soccer app really helped our kids improve their technical footwork over the summer.

Those consistent touches on the ball really helped develop their muscle memory so the motions of standard fakes and feints were more natural. Of course it takes some discipline to do technical footwork training every day consistently in the summer. One of the questions we get from some soccer [...]
Dribble Up team leaderboards are no longer part of the DribbleUp soccer app which makes it more difficult to run skills contests. We've requested a return of this feature to the Dribble Up app but for the time being it's not an option. You can still run contests but its a more manual process than it used to be. The Dribble Up soccer ball, smart ball app, and the coach’s dashboard helped us run a soccer skills contest this summer during the World Cup. If you're [...]
The shooting app feature has been removed from the DribbleUp app. It wasn't perfect but we had a good time with it in the backyard.

You can read more about how we use the ball to help our players get better at foot skills in our Dribble Up Player & Parent Guide. The Dribble Up soccer shooting app [...]
