How Dribble Pickup is Simplifying Community Soccer and Social Connection with FlutterFlow
"FlutterFlow has been a game-changer for Dribble Pickup Soccer. It allowed us to quickly create a seamless, cross-platform app that brings players together and makes organizing games effortless, helping us achieve our mission of community building through soccer."
— Carlos Moreno, Founder of Dribble Pickup Soccer
Getting Started
Dribble Pickup Soccer was born from a desire to make soccer accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial status. Growing up playing pickup games, Carlos Moreno saw firsthand how soccer could build community. However, the high costs and logistical challenges of organized soccer in the United States left many players excluded.
Dribble Pickup Soccer launched in January 2024 with the goal of creating a platform where anyone could find or organize a soccer game with ease. Within eight weeks, the platform had already gained over 10,000 users and facilitated 165 games, highlighting the demand for an accessible solution.
Choosing FlutterFlow
"With FlutterFlow’s visual tools and Supabase’s backend support, we were able to focus on creating meaningful features like real-time game notifications and location-based searches. This streamlined our development process and ensured a user-friendly experience."
— Carlos Moreno, Founder of Dribble Pickup Soccer
When developing Dribble Pickup Soccer, the team needed a platform that could deliver a seamless user experience across web, iOS, and Android, while also supporting rapid iteration and scalability. After evaluating multiple options, the team chose FlutterFlow for its ability to simplify multi-platform development with a single codebase.
FlutterFlow’s features streamlined the process of designing a highly functional app, while Supabase was used as the backend to handle essential functionalities like user authentication, real-time chats, and location-based searches. By relying on Supabase, the Dribble Pickup team was able to focus on delivering features that directly supported their mission of community building.
Building with FlutterFlow
FlutterFlow’s tools enabled Dribble Pickup Soccer to create an app that focuses on usability and simplicity, offering tools that make it easy to join or organize pickup games:
- Quick Game Setup: Players can organize games in seconds, with options to filter by location and time for easy participation.
- Custom Action-Based Features: The team heavily utilized custom actions within FlutterFlow to call Supabase functions, ensuring a tailored experience for users without relying on pre-built integrations.
- Real-Time Notifications: Push notifications alert users to game updates or new opportunities nearby, improving engagement.
- Community Tools: The app integrates social sharing features, enabling users to invite others to games and grow the network organically.
By leveraging FlutterFlow and Supabase, Dribble Pickup was able to iterate on its design and functionality efficiently, incorporating user feedback to refine the platform.
Value Realized
Since its launch, Dribble Pickup Soccer has grown to over 12,000 users and facilitated more than 350 games. The app’s success has also led to a partnership with U.S. Soccer to build a mini soccer pitch in Los Angeles, demonstrating its ability to impact the soccer community beyond the app itself.
The team is now in discussions with brands about further collaborations, including plans for a playable billboard that integrates with the app, offering interactive features for users.
FlutterFlow and Supabase enabled Dribble Pickup Soccer to turn an idea into a scalable platform, helping build a community where soccer is accessible to all. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, Dribble Pickup continues to expand its reach and impact in the soccer world.
