Flyball

What is Flyball?

Flyball is a relay race with 4 dogs on a team.

The course consists of a starting line, 4 hurdles spaced 10 feet apart and a box. The first hurdle is 6 feet from the start line and the box is 15 feet from the last hurdle for a 51 foot overall length. The dogs jump the hurdles and steps on a spring loaded box that fires a tennis ball. The dog catches the tennis ball and then runs back over the 4 hurdles. When the dog crosses the starting line the next dog goes.

The first team to have all 4 dogs run without errors wins the heat.

For several years Broxburn has run teams in the Crufts flyball event, winning in both 2009 and 2012.

Our Crufts teams run under the name of the Broxburn Bandits, and the Broxburn Raiders. Many thanks go to Burns Pet Nutrition who have sponsored the Broxburn Bandits since 2010. Burnslogo

Broxburn does not currently run a flyball team. Anyone interested in flyball should contact the British Flyball Association for further details.
