Do you have a "ball-obsessed" dog or even a dog that seems to have a boundless amount of energy? Is your arm getting tired from all those hours of throwing the ball for your furry friend? Are you looking for a fun sport where you can spend quality time with your K9 buddy, have a good time, and meet some great people as well?

If you answered "YES" to any of those questions, then Flyball just may be the sport for you and your energetic K-9. We invite you to browse our site, meet the team, and learn about the sport of Flyball. We hope that you enjoy your stay, and please feel free to contact us with comments and inquiries.

The following link should be viewed by everyone who has ever trained, is training, or plans on training a dog for some specialized skills.

August 18th, 2010: Timber Jack, Kevin's and Donna's Airedale Terrier, was put to sleep today. He has not been well for sometime now and was to the point were he could not get up or walk. Timber still holds the record for most points earned in NAFA by an Airedale Terrier and is the only Airedale Terrier to ever earn the ONYX award. In UFLI he held all the records for Airedale Terriers for the first three years of its existance. He was retired from flyball about two years ago.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
