About Mutts in Motion Flyball

 Flyball is a relay race between two teams with four dogs and four handlers on each team.  Each of the dogs takes turns racing down the flyball course jumping over four hurdles, triggering a spring loaded box that releases a tennis ball. The canine athlete then catches the “fly-ball”, turning and racing back over the hurdles and across the finish line.  Handlers release their dogs attempting to pass each returning dog as close to the start/finish line as possible.  Once all four dogs have completed the race without any errors, the fastest team wins.
