Is dribbla related to the English word dribble?

Yes. Dribbla is basically the Swedish version of the English sports verb dribble.

Swedish often takes loanwords and gives them Swedish verb endings. Here, the infinitive ends in -a, which is very common for Swedish verbs:

• dribble → dribbla

So it feels familiar to an English speaker, but it behaves like a normal Swedish verb.
