About Flyball

Flyball is an exciting team sport for dogs, originating from California in the late 1970's. It is a relay race between teams consisting of four dogs and handlers, plus a box loader and up to two reserves.

Each dog jumps four hurdles and then triggers a spring loaded box that releases a tennis ball. The dog then catches the tennis ball and carries it back over the four hurdles. When the dog crosses the start line the next dog goes, the aim being that the dogs cross nose to nose on the startline. This is called a 'changeover'. If a run is not completed correctly the dog must re-run (for instance if the dog does not carry the ball back, misses a hurdle or the changeover is too early). The first team to have all four dogs run without any faults wins the race.
