How to cancel your Dribble Up membership and stop recurring charges
Why you might cancel your Dribble Up account
Dribble Up combines intelligent sports equipment with mobile app coaching, real-time performance feedback, and guided drills. You purchase a smart ball (soccer, basketball, or football) and pay for a recurring monthly membership, typically around $16.99 per month, to access the full training library and features. The physical equipment functions exclusively when your membership remains active, which is why understanding your cancellation options and billing cycle matters.
Many subscribers discover that Dribble Up links equipment purchases to separate membership accounts, and canceling through one channel may not stop all charges. Yafee has documented cases where consumers face duplicate memberships, unexpected continued billing after cancellation attempts, and billing surprises connected to equipment orders. Your reasons for canceling might include subscription costs accumulating over time, your household no longer using the app and equipment, unclear billing communications, or charges appearing after you believed you had already canceled.
Whatever your reason, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process and transparent answers about your refund rights. This guide walks you through your legal position, the exact steps to cancel, and what to do if charges persist after cancellation.
Understanding Dribble up's auto-renewal model
Dribble Up operates on an automatic renewal system, meaning your membership renews monthly unless you submit a cancellation request before your next billing date. The company charges your saved payment method without requiring you to reconfirm the purchase each time. This model is legal under federal law, but it comes with strict disclosure and cancellation requirements that protect you as the consumer. Your ability to cancel easily and your right to know the exact renewal date are not optional features; they are legal obligations that Dribble Up must meet.
Your consumer rights under federal law
Federal consumer protection laws establish clear rights when you cancel a recurring subscription membership in the United States.
The restore online shoppers confidence act and your protections
The Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, requires that companies offering negative-option or auto-renewal services obtain your clear and affirmative informed consent before they charge you. Dribble Up must provide simple cancellation mechanisms and must honor cancellation requests promptly. If the company charged you without transparent disclosure of auto-renewal terms, or if you submitted a valid cancellation request and Dribble Up continued billing you, you have grounds to dispute the charges and request a refund. ROSCA applies regardless of which payment method you used or where you live in the United States.
Your right to cancel and receive a refund
You have the legal right to cancel your membership at any time through the same channel you used to purchase it, or through an equally simple and accessible method. You also have the right to request a refund for any charges incurred after you submitted a valid cancellation request. If your cancellation took effect on a specific date but Dribble Up processed a charge after that date, you can dispute that charge as unauthorized. If the company violated ROSCA by failing to disclose renewal terms clearly, continuing to charge after you canceled, or making cancellation difficult, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and pursue remedies through your state's attorney general or your payment card issuer.
State-level protections that strengthen your position
Many states, including California, New York, Illinois, and others, have enacted additional protections for auto-renewal subscribers. These state laws often require reminder emails before each renewal, a simple online cancellation option, and clear pre-purchase disclosure of all material terms. If your state has such protections and Dribble Up did not follow them, you strengthen your position when disputing charges or pursuing refunds. Yafee recommends reviewing your state's specific requirements if you encounter billing issues after cancellation.

How to cancel your Dribble Up membership
The cancellation process varies depending on how you purchased your membership and which device you use. Yafee recommends following the online method whenever possible, as it creates an immediate digital record of your cancellation request.
Step 1: log into your account online
- Visit account.dribbleup.com in your web browser.
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and follow the email recovery link.
Step 2: navigate to the membership management section
- Once logged in, locate the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines or a gear icon) in the top left or top right of the page.
- Select "Settings," "Account," or "Membership" from the menu options.
- Look for an option labeled "Manage Membership," "Subscription," or "Billing."
- You should see your current membership status and the next scheduled renewal date.
Step 3: select cancel and confirm
- Click the "Cancel Your Membership" or "Cancel Subscription" button.
- Read any confirmation message or survey (optional questions about why you are canceling).
- Click "Confirm Cancellation" or "Yes, cancel my membership" when prompted.
- Your screen will display a confirmation message; write down the confirmation number and date if one appears.
Step 4: verify the cancellation email
- Check your email inbox within 5 to 10 minutes of completing the cancellation steps.
- Look for a message from Dribble Up with the subject line "Membership Canceled" or "Subscription Confirmation."
- Save this email as your proof of cancellation; forward it to yourself or print it for your records.
- The email should state your cancellation date and confirm that no further charges will occur.
Cancellation through the mobile app
- Open the Dribble Up app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) or go to "Account" or "Settings."
- Select "Manage Membership" or "Subscription Settings."
- Tap "Cancel Membership" and confirm when prompted.
- Request the confirmation email by selecting "Send confirmation" if the option appears.
If you purchased through apple app store or google play
- On iPhone: Open Settings, tap your name, select "Subscriptions," find Dribble Up, and tap "Cancel Subscription."
- On Android: Open Google Play, go to "Manage subscriptions," select Dribble Up, and tap "Cancel subscription."
- Confirm the cancellation in the app store's interface.
- Email Dribble Up support at [email protected] with your confirmation, stating that you canceled through the app store and requesting confirmation that your Dribble Up account membership is also canceled.
Cancellation through a third-party payment processor
- If you purchased Dribble Up through PayPal, Klarna, or another third-party payment processor, log into that service's account.
- Navigate to "Subscriptions," "Recurring Payments," or "Authorized Merchants."
- Find Dribble Up and select "Cancel" or "Remove Authorization."
- Confirm the cancellation in the payment processor's system.
- Also cancel directly through Dribble Up's website (account.dribbleup.com) to ensure the account membership is terminated on both ends.
What happens after your cancellation takes effect
After you cancel, your access to Dribble Up features continues until the end of your current billing period. You will lose app access and coaching features on your next scheduled renewal date, though the exact timing depends on when you canceled relative to your billing cycle.
Your membership during the cancellation grace period
You retain full access to the app, coaching library, and performance tracking until the final day of your paid subscription period. If your next billing date is 20 days away, you keep access for those 20 days at no additional charge. After that date, your account will lock and you will no longer be able to log in or use any premium features. Your smart ball hardware remains yours, but it will not function with the app once your membership ends.
Your billing and payment status
No charge should appear on your payment method on the next scheduled billing date if you canceled successfully. Verify your bank or credit card statement approximately 3 to 5 days after your cancellation-effective date to confirm that no charge posted. If a charge does appear, follow the dispute process detailed in the "Handling unauthorized charges after cancellation" section below.
Refunds and unauthorized billing disputes
Your right to a refund depends on when you canceled and what charges appear after your cancellation took effect.
Your legal position on refunds
Under ROSCA and most state auto-renewal laws, if you canceled before your next billing date, you are not owed a refund for the current subscription period you are still using. However, if Dribble Up charged you after your cancellation became effective, you have the right to demand a refund for that unauthorized charge. Additionally, if the company violated its disclosure obligations (for example, failing to clearly explain the auto-renewal terms before you purchased), you may have grounds to request a full refund of all subscription fees, depending on your state and the specific violation. Yafee recommends documenting all communication with Dribble Up regarding refund requests, as this record strengthens your position if you escalate the dispute.
How to request a refund from Dribble Up
- Visit help.dribbleup.com or search for "Contact Us" on the Dribble Up website.
- Submit a support ticket describing the charge you want refunded, including the transaction date and amount.
- Attach a screenshot of the charge from your bank or payment card statement.
- Explain why the charge is unauthorized (for example, "I canceled on [date] but was charged on [date]").
- Request a refund and specify your preferred refund method (original payment card or account credit).
- Send the ticket and wait for a response; Dribble Up typically replies within 5 to 10 business days.
Disputing the charge with your bank or payment card issuer
- If Dribble Up denies your refund request or does not respond within 14 days, contact your bank or credit card company.
- Provide your account representative with your cancellation confirmation email, the charge receipt, and a written explanation of why the charge is unauthorized.
- Request a chargeback or dispute for the unauthorized charge under the payment processor's dispute resolution rules.
- Your bank will investigate and typically issue a temporary credit within 10 business days while the investigation is underway.
- The final resolution usually occurs within 30 to 60 days, and you will receive a written decision.
Filing a complaint with the federal trade commission
- If you believe Dribble Up violated ROSCA (for example, by continuing to charge after you canceled or by failing to disclose renewal terms), file a complaint at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
- Provide your account email, the dates you subscribed and canceled, all charges that occurred after cancellation, and copies of your cancellation confirmation and disputed charges.
- The FTC reviews complaints and may open an investigation if a pattern of violations emerges across multiple consumers.
- Your complaint does not directly recover your money but strengthens the FTC's ability to take enforcement action against the company.
Common mistakes when canceling Dribble Up
Canceling a subscription can feel straightforward, but overlooking a few details may leave you vulnerable to continued billing. The good news is that knowing these pitfalls helps you protect yourself and document your cancellation properly.
Mistake 1: canceling only through the app store, not the main account
Many subscribers assume that canceling a subscription through Apple App Store or Google Play automatically cancels their Dribble Up account membership. This is not always true. App store cancellation stops app store billing but may not terminate your Dribble Up account membership if you linked a separate payment method during sign-up. Always cancel directly through account.dribbleup.com in addition to canceling through the app store to ensure both channels recognize your cancellation.
Mistake 2: not saving your cancellation confirmation email
Failing to save your cancellation confirmation email leaves you without proof if a charge appears later and you need to dispute it. Immediately forward the confirmation email to a personal email address, print it, or take a screenshot. This documentation is essential if you must file a chargeback or complaint with the FTC.
Mistake 3: assuming your membership ends immediately
Canceling does not cut off your access instantly; it terminates your membership at the end of your current billing period. If you believed you would lose access immediately and do not use the app for the remaining days, you may feel as though you wasted money. Understanding that you retain access until the billing period ends helps you plan accordingly.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your payment method after cancellation
After you cancel, check your bank or credit card statement 5 to 10 days later to confirm that no new charge appeared. Waiting until the end of the month to review your statement may delay your discovery of an unauthorized charge and make it harder to dispute. Setting a calendar reminder to check your statement shortly after your cancellation-effective date ensures you catch any problems quickly.

Preventing future billing problems with subscription services
Once you have canceled Dribble Up, protecting yourself from similar issues with other subscriptions involves a few straightforward practices. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions across dozens of services, and the same principles apply everywhere.
Best practices for managing recurring charges
- Keep a spreadsheet or document listing all your active subscriptions, renewal dates, and monthly costs. Update it quarterly.
- Set phone calendar reminders 3 days before each renewal date so you can confirm you still want the service.
- Use a dedicated credit card for subscriptions, or review your primary card statement weekly to spot unexpected charges early.
- Request and save confirmation emails for every cancellation you submit, even if you receive an on-screen confirmation.
- Review your bank and credit card statements within one week of any cancellation-effective date to confirm no new charge appeared.
- Know your state's auto-renewal protections and refer to them when disputing unauthorized charges.
Summary and next steps
Canceling your Dribble Up membership is straightforward if you follow the correct process and verify that the cancellation took effect. You have the legal right under ROSCA to cancel at any time through a simple mechanism, and you have the right to dispute any charges that appear after your cancellation becomes effective. Yafee recommends using the direct web-based cancellation method at account.dribbleup.com, saving your confirmation email, and monitoring your payment method for 7 to 10 days after your cancellation-effective date.
If Dribble Up continues to charge you after you canceled, contact the company immediately through help.dribbleup.com and request a refund. If the company does not respond or refuses your refund request, dispute the charge with your bank or payment card issuer, and file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Your documentation of the cancellation and the unauthorized charges will be your most powerful tool in securing a refund and holding the company accountable.
