Getting Started: Flyball Resources

Flyball Newbie

"I want to do flyball but, I don't know how to get started. Help!"

Flyball has benefited from the incredible growth of the internet. All a new person interested in learning about flyball needs to do is punch in a search for flyball and many websites will pop up to point the way.

A good place to begin is the various flyball sanctioning organizations. Here in the US and Canada there is the North American Flyball Association. NAFA was organized in the mid 1980's and was the first sanctioning body to formally organize flyball. Another flyball sanctioning body operating in the US/Canada sphere is the United Flyball League, International.

Various other flyball sanctioning organizations located worldwide are:
British Flyball Association
Belgian Flyball Federation
Australian Flyball Association
Flyball in Germany
South African Flyball Dog Association

Another site that is privately maintained is The Flyball Homepage. This site contains links to flyball teams, equipment, flyball in the "News", a Flyball FAQ page and The Flyball E-mail List. "The List" as it is sometimes refered to has a subscriber base of well over 1000 people worldwide and is an indispensable source of information for all things "flyball".

Flyball.com is a message board that offers those who register a FREE e-mail account!

"Push the Limits" Flyball Team maintains Flyball Chat. Chat Nights are Tuesdays and Saturdays beginning at 8:00 pm Atlantic Time or anytime. Flyball Chat began in 1999 and remains a popular way to "meet & greet" flyballers from everywhere. If you have questions about how to get started, you will meet people here who can help you.

Good Luck and Good Racing!
