What is Flyball?
Flyball is North America's fastest growing dog sport. It is a FAST 4-dog relay race between competing teams. One dog from each team, racing side by side (in separate lanes), must go over 4 jumps, step on a flyball box pedal, catch (or retrieve) a tennis ball, and return over all four jumps to the start/finish line where the next dog eagerly waits.
Flyball encompasses all things dogs love!!
