Flyball Links

Flyball - wheeee - what a lot of fun these dogs have. Flyball is a race where the dogs spring over a series of jumps (usually 4), run to a box, snatch up an object (ball, beanbag ...) and race back to the start. It is both simple and complex. To do its best the dog has to not merely clear the hurdle, but keep a smooth approach and landing so as to clear the maximum distance in a minimum of time. The turn at the box can mean the difference between a win and a loss so a lot of effort goes into teaching the dog to do it well. This event is just pure fun for many dogs, and it is open to all dogs - mixed breed and purebred alike.

Flyball Home Page
http://www.flyballdogs.com/FAQ.html

This site is very comprehensive. If there is a flyball link on the web you should be able to find it here (including the ones listed below). Designed for the Flyball enthusiast, it has contacts, flyball box plans, everything you can imagine related to Flyball. Maintained by K. Hogg This site loads at a decent speed unlike many of the other sites.

i-Flyball
http://www.i-flyball.com/

This is a very comprehensive but slow loading site. Any link or information you could want on Flyball is likely to be here. I found several sites to be very slow loading and picked this one as the least slow of the big flyball resource sites other than Flyball.com (above) which loads quite nicely.

The British Flyball Association - Introduction to Flyball

This nice simple page provides good information on the sport and getting started. Although it loads quickly the home page is rather sluggish because of all the "cool stuff" like animation.
