Flyball Sports in Brief

Flyball is a team sport for dogs and their handlers. It was invented in California in the late 70's. It is loud, full of energy, and fun for all involved - the dogs, handlers, judges, and spectators. Dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, colors, and ages can participate in flyball. Dogs with high drive for ball are in particular very suitable for Fly Ball Training.

The course consists of a starting line, 4 hurdles spaced 10 feet apart and a box. The first hurdle is 6 feet from the start line and the box is 15 feet from the last hurdle, for a 51 foot overall length. At tournaments, the start line is outfitted with a line of red, yellow, and green lights, similar to what you would see at a drag race.

It is best to think of Flyball as the following chain of events:

1. Release the dog
2. Jump over first hurdle
3. Jump over second hurdle
4. Jump over third hurdle
5. Jump over fourth hurdle
6. Approach box
7. Hit box to release tennis ball
8. Catch tennis ball
9. Turn
10. Return over fourth hurdle
11. Return over third hurdle
12. Return over second hurdle
13. Return over first hurdle
14. Cross finish line
