It is a FAST 4-dog relay race between two competing teams. One dog from each team racing side by side (in separate lanes), must go over 4 jumps, step on a Flyball box pedal, catch (or retrieve) a tennis ball, and return over all four jumps to the start\/finish line where the next dog eagerly awaits. The first team to have all four dogs finish the race with zero faults wins the heat.&nbsp; The jump heights for a team are determined by the \u201cheight dog\u201d (smallest dog) on the team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of Flyball is that this sport encompasses all the things that dogs love!!!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flyball is open to any breed of dog and humans of any age.

The only requirements are that your dog must LOVE to play with a ball, be reasonably sociable with other dogs\/humans, and be in good physical condition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you get out of participating in Flyball besides fun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PRIZES!!! are awarded for the top finishing teams within each division at tournaments.
