Bay Racers Flyball Club is now accepting enrollment for our next introductory workshop! The workshop will be held Sunday, February 24, in Hayward. The cost is $100 for the 4-hour workshop, 9am–1pm.

This is a fun, fast-paced workshop for well-trained dogs and their handlers who are interested in learning to compete in flyball.

Please see our Workshop page for more details.

If you’re interested in joining us for the demo, please RSVP to KarenEGreen@sbcglobal.netby Friday, April 3rd. Include the number of 4-dog teams (with rough seed times) as well as approximate number of green dogs. We’ll schedule both head to head racing and blocks of practice time as we have in the past.

Flyball Details–
Time- Racing from 10a-4p (or so)

The rules–
This is a great opportunity for training, so we will allow you to use any props you want in your racing lane. There will be fencing around most of the ring. We’ll also have flexi-gates that can be used between the lanes. However, if you have a dog that is likely to cross over, please be considerate and either run it without a team in the other lane or find out if the team you are racing against has a bomb-proof dog. As this is a public event and flyball is on display, please use positive training methods and language appropriate for a family audience.

What to bring–
The usual stuff you need at tournaments. There are food trucks scattered around campus for lunch or bring your own.

What about rain?-
We may not be able to give people much notice since we’ll be driving up that morning and won’t know the field conditions until we get there. Please provide me with one phone number for your club and I’ll call if we get rained out. I’ll rely on that person to inform the rest of your club
