What is flyball?

Flyball, a fast-paced canine relay race, traces its roots to the early 1970s when a group of dog enthusiasts in Southern California sought to provide an exciting and physically demanding activity for their four-legged companions.

Originally conceived as a training exercise, it quickly evolved into a thrilling sport.

In the sport of flyball, teams of four dogs race over a series of hurdles, trigger a spring-loaded box to release a tennis ball, and then sprint back with the retrieved ball. The next dog in line repeats the process, and the race continues until all four dogs have completed their runs. The team to finish first wins the race.

Over the decades, flyball has gained immense popularity, spreading across the United States and beyond. Its growth led to the formation of governing bodies, rule standardization, and the establishment of national and international competitions.

This high-energy sport not only celebrates the bond between humans and their furry companions but also showcases the agility and speed of these incredible canine athletes. Today, flyball remains a beloved and exciting pastime for dog lovers and their canine companions around the world.
