Flyball -

Flyball is my favourite sport and  I go training each week with Lightning Strikes Flyball Club.  I have gained my FD (Flyball Dog) and FDI (Flyball Dog Intermediate), FDG (Flyball Dog Graduate)and  FDG (Flyball Dog Advanced) titles for earning more than 5000 points so far in tournaments.

I have taken part in lots and lots of BFA Flyball competitions .  (see at the bottom of this page for links to my Youtube videos)

This is me at the British Flyball Championships & running back with the ball at the Aces High Flyball event at Capstone Country Park

What is Flyball ?

Flyball is a Dog team  sport.  A team of four dogs, with up to two substitutes ( in a relay race)  jump over 4 jumps, gets a tennis  ball from a 'box' and run back again. Two teams compete against each other at the same time in the best of 5 races. This is usually in a league completion with teams of similar times and the team that wins the most races wins the league. Also individual teams try and better there own overall times. 

Check out the BFA website on the links page for more information on flyball.

This is me at training.
