Flyball changeovers: safe, fast passing drills
Flyball changeovers drills for building clear, legal passes, improving handler cues and helping each dog work with confidence in training and racing.
Flyball is the world's fastest team sport on four legs. Teams of four dogs race side by side over a line of jumps, hit a spring-loaded box that fires a tennis ball, then sprint back so the next dog can go. First team across the finish line wins. It is loud, fast, and ridiculously fun for dogs and handlers alike. If you are new to flyball, start here: learn the rules, see how teams train, then find a club when you are ready to have a go.

Flyball is a relay race for dogs. Two teams race side by side. Each dog jumps four hurdles, presses a flyball box to release a tennis ball, catches the ball, then races back so the next dog can go. The fastest team to get all four dogs home without a fault wins.
In the UK, flyball is usually run by clubs and teams that train together, enter tournaments, and build safe foundations before asking dogs to race at full speed.
Flyball is usually built around clubs and teams. You train the skills first, then work towards competitions or tournaments when your dog is ready.

Everything you need to know to get started with the fastest dog sport around
Flyball is a fast-paced relay race for dogs. Teams of four dogs race side-by-side over a 51-foot course, jumping four hurdles, triggering a spring-loaded box to release a tennis ball, then returning over the hurdles with the ball. The fastest team wins. It's one of the most exciting dog sports, with races often completed in under 20 seconds. Any dog that can catch a ball and jump can participate, making it accessible to mixed breeds and rescue dogs alongside purebreds.
