What is Flyball?

Flyball is an exciting dog team sport that matches two teams of four dogs each racing side-by-side over a 51-foot long course. Each dog must run in relay fashion down the jumps, trigger a flyball box, releasing the
ball, retrieve the ball, and return over the jumps. The next dog is released to run the course but can’t cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all four jumps and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all four dogs finish the course without error wins the heat.
