Dribbler soccer has been a blessing. I’m very happy with the accommodations that were made so my son can get the support he needed.

We couldn’t be happy enough with the progress my boys have made in only 3 weeks. The fact that they are mobile and flexible was great for our schedule.

My daughter wasn’t getting the playing time she deserved. We tried Dribbler to improve her skills. She has improved so much and now gets more playing time on the field!

We love Dribbler soccer! I decided to start with the 6 lesson package first and my son has become a better player already. We are planning on purchasing more with our amazing trainer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose the Trainer?
Dribbler carefully matches you with a trainer based on the details you provide during registration, ensuring the best fit for your skill level, location, and training goals. If the assigned trainer isn't the right fit, you can request a different trainer in your area. Before scheduling or making any payments, your trainer will send their profile for you to review, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Is there a fee to add more players?
Yes, if more than one player is participating in the lessons, there is a small additional fee per lesson to accommodate the extra instruction. The pricing is as follows:
  • 2 Players: +$5 per lesson
  • 3 Players: +$10 per lesson
This ensures that each player receives quality coaching while keeping the sessions engaging and effective.
Is there a registration Fee?
Yes, there is a one-time $20 registration fee per player. This fee is not charged upfront; instead, it will be included in your invoice after you have been matched with a trainer and a start date has been confirmed for your lessons. The registration fee helps cover administrative costs and ensures a smooth scheduling process.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We do offer payment plans. If you're interested in setting up a plan, please reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to discuss available options that work best for you.
Where are you located?
Dribbler does not have physical locations. Instead, our trainers travel to your home or a nearby field of your choice, providing convenient and flexible soccer lessons at a location that works best for you.
What areas do you serve?
We provide soccer training in most major cities across the U.S. If you're unsure whether we have a trainer in your area, feel free to call or email us, and we’ll be happy to check availability for you!
Do you offer a Pay-Per-Lesson option?
We currently do not offer a pay-per-lesson option. However, we do provide a single lesson option, allowing you to try our service before committing to a package. If you enjoy your lesson, you can purchase a lesson package to save more in the long run! If you're unable to purchase a package in full, please contact us, and we’ll be happy to discuss possible payment options.
Do you accept cash?
No, we do not accept cash for lesson payments. We accept all major credit and debit cards for secure and convenient transactions. However, if you’d like to show appreciation, you may tip your trainer in cash at the end of your lesson package as a courtesy.
Do you offer indoor soccer lessons?
Yes, we do offer indoor soccer lessons! However, please note that the customer is responsible for covering any fees associated with using indoor facilities. In some cases, we may have a trainer in your area who already has access to an indoor facility. If that’s the case, they will inform you of the location and any associated costs. If we do not have a trainer with an indoor facility available, you and your trainer can work together to find an indoor space that meets your needs during the colder months.
What is your refund policy?
At Dribbler, we are committed to your satisfaction with our soccer training services. That’s why we offer a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied after your first lesson.

✔️ If you did not enjoy your first lesson, we will issue a full refund on your purchased package, whether it’s a single lesson or a multi-lesson package. (Registration fees are non-refundable.)
✔️ If you choose to continue and take a second lesson, we will only refund the remaining unused lessons in your package that you did not complete.

We strive to provide high-quality soccer training, and our goal is to ensure you have the best experience possible! For any refund inquiries, please contact us directly.
When will I be charged for my lesson package?
Lesson packages must be paid in full at least 5 days before your first scheduled lesson. Once you are matched with a trainer and a start date is confirmed, we will send an invoice to your email address for payment.
How do I purchase more lessons with my trainer?
If you'd like to purchase more lessons, please fill out the upgrade form here: Upgrade Lesson Package. Once submitted, our billing team will send you an invoice based on the lesson option and amount of your choosing. After payment is completed, you can continue training with your instructor.
Are you hiring?
Yes! We are always looking for new soccer trainers to join our team and work with clients across the U.S. If you're interested, please apply here: Trainer Application Form. We look forward to reviewing your application!
How should I prepare my child for soccer lessons?
Once payment is submitted and the policy waiver is signed, we recommend ensuring your child has the proper soccer gear for a safe and effective training session.
  • Gear: Well-fitted cleats and soccer balls that meet league standards (if applicable).
  • Stretching: We advise all participants to spend at least 5 minutes stretching before training to prevent injuries.
  • Group Lessons: If taking lessons as a group, make sure each player brings their own equipment.
Proper preparation helps maximize your child's learning experience and safety during lessons!
What equipment do your Trainers bring?
Our trainers bring a variety of equipment to enhance training sessions, including soccer balls, cones, portable nets, and other necessary gear. However, equipment may vary depending on the focus of the session and the trainer’s specific training plan for the day. If you have any special equipment requests, we recommend discussing them with your trainer in advance.
What certifications do your Soccer Trainers carry?
While certifications are not required to become a Dribbler trainer, many of our trainers do hold various coaching credentials. More importantly, every trainer goes through a thorough vetting process, which includes background checks, experience verification, and interviews to ensure they are highly qualified to train players of all ages and skill levels. Our priority is to select trainers with proven experience in coaching, working with different age groups, and developing players' skills effectively. If you have specific certification requirements, feel free to reach out, and we’ll do our best to match you with a suitable trainer.
What happens if I do not like my Trainer?
If your trainer is not the right fit for you or your family, we will gladly switch you to another trainer who better matches your needs. Simply contact our office, and we will work quickly to find a replacement that aligns with your preferences and training goals. Your satisfaction is our priority!
What is your soccer training program all about?
Our soccer training program focuses on developing technical skills such as footwork, ball control, dribbling, passing, shooting accuracy, and field awareness. We believe that what separates good players from great ones are the fundamental skills—like ball touch and dribbling—that are often overlooked. Our experienced trainers work with players of all ages and skill levels, tailoring sessions to improve their technique, confidence, and overall game performance. The goal is to help each player elevate their skills and progress from average to great!
How do I know what lesson option/package to choose?
We recommend starting with a single lesson to see if the trainer is the right fit for you. After your first session, you can choose from one of our lesson packages (6 or 12 lessons)—the more lessons you purchase, the more you save per session.

For group lessons:
  • Each 1-hour session can accommodate up to 3 students max.
  • You can choose to have the group lesson split into individual 1-on-1 increments or have all students train together.
Your trainer can help discuss and customize the best option for your needs once you're matched!
Can I take more than one lesson per week?
Yes, you can take as many lessons per week as you’d like! Our training packages are flexible, allowing you to schedule multiple lessons per week based on your availability and training goals. Simply discuss your preferred schedule with your trainer and confirm the lesson times that work best for both of you.
