Flyball FAQs
What is Flyball?
Flyball is a relay race in which two flyball teams compete against each other. A flyball team consists of four main dogs and their handlers, a boxloader, and one or two alternate dogs and handlers. A dog from each team races over a series of four hurdles, steps on a flyball box, catches a tennis ball that flies out of the box, and returns with the ball over the four hurdles and across the start/finish line. The race is won by the first team to have all four dogs successfully complete their runs.
