Our main goal is having fun with family, friends, and most importantly, our canine companions. Some of our
human members have started out in this sport at the very early ages! As for the canine group, some have
started learning at the age of 8 weeks and others have started their training at 8 years old! As a club, we
love to compete and win, but first and foremost, our goal is to stay family oriented and keep the FUN in flyball.
So get that ball out, practice, practice, practice and we will meet you at the tournaments!
Meet our current members and members in training below!

Rosie is a 2012 BC puppy who was given to me as a 2-year-old when she failed Sheepherding 101. I was asked to "do something with this dog," and she has since become a happy dog learning flyball, agility and a bit of dock diving. In quieter moments, she's a library Reading Therapy dog and my constant companion. Rosie loves dogs, cats and everyone she meets.
