What is Flyball Hub? How the team management app works

Running a flyball club usually means keeping track of people, dogs, training plans and race-day details at the same time. Group chats and spreadsheets can cover parts of that job, but the useful information soon ends up scattered.

Flyball Hub is a team management app for web, iOS and Android. Clubs use it to keep member and dog records together, organise training, collect RSVPs, share updates and manage competition data without building another spreadsheet.

The problem it solves

Running a flyball team involves a surprising amount of coordination. You need to know who's coming to training, which dogs are attending, what the session plan looks like, and how to get updates out when things change. Most teams handle this through a combination of:

• Group chats (WhatsApp, Messenger) - Great for quick messages, but important info disappears in the scroll. Good luck finding that venue postcode from three weeks ago.
• Facebook groups - Useful for announcements, but not everyone checks them. And you can't easily track RSVPs or see who's read what.
• Spreadsheets - The classic. Works until someone forgets to update it, or you're trying to edit on your phone in the car park.
• Paper notes and memory - "I think Dave said he was bringing Archie... or was that next week?"

None of these tools were designed for managing a sports team with dogs. They work, but they don't work together. Flyball Hub was built to fill that gap.

What Flyball Hub does

Team and dog management

Every member and dog gets a profile. Teams can record photos, training notes, turn direction, height category and personal bests. Premium adds exact dog stats, pace and form trends, leaderboards and collectible team-branded dog cards.

Dog profiles are quick to update on a phone, because that's usually where you are when you remember "oh, I should note that Rex has been working on his box turn."

Training sessions and RSVPs

Create a training session with its date, time and location, then ask members to RSVP for themselves and their dogs. Public events can also carry the details teams need before a tournament.

Captains and trainers can see who is coming before they set a plan. That matters when the difference between six dogs and sixteen changes the drills, lane groups and time needed.

Session planning

Once the RSVPs are in, add warm-ups, drills and breaks to the session plan. Repeated schedules save setup time for regular training, while shared comments keep the notes beside the event instead of buried in another chat.

Some clubs plan every lane in advance. Others decide on the day. Flyball Hub lets each team use as much structure as it needs, and keeps the team data needed on the day available when the signal at a venue is poor.

Team Chat and race-day tools

Premium teams can use Team Chat for messages and reactions. At competitions, Race Tracker records line-ups and results, while imported-video timing lets you measure a dog or a complete team run before saving confirmed times to Stats.

Roles and permissions

Not everyone needs access to everything. Admins manage team settings, captains and trainers can create sessions and manage dogs, and members see what they need. Sub-teams help larger clubs keep different squads organised within one club.

Who it's built for

Flyball Hub works for different people in different ways:

Team admins and captains use it to plan training, track attendance over time, and keep everyone informed without sending the same message in three different places.

Trainers use it to see who's coming, review dog notes before a session, and (if they want) pre-plan lane assignments.

Members use it for the basics: checking when and where training is, RSVPing, and updating their own dogs' profiles.

The interface works for everyone, including teammates who aren't particularly tech-savvy. Big buttons, clear labels, nothing buried three menus deep.

How teams typically use it

It usually goes something like this:

1. Set up your team. Takes a couple of minutes. Add your team name and logo if you have one.
2. Share the invite link from your dashboard. Members create accounts and claim their profiles.
3. Members add their own dogs, or admins can add them on behalf of people.
4. Create a session with the date, time and location. Publish it and members get notified.
5. Members tap to confirm attendance. You see the numbers update in real time.
6. Assign dogs to lanes, add session notes, or just wing it.
7. Everyone turns up knowing where to be and what's happening.

Most teams find the RSVP feature alone saves a lot of back-and-forth messaging.

Pricing

The Free plan covers the core team admin tools and includes occasional ads. Premium is live for clubs that want Team Chat, video timing, richer dog data and an ad-free team workspace. See the current Premium prices and trial details.

Privacy and data

Private member details, dog records and team notes stay inside the club workspace. Teams can choose to publish selected team and event listings, but those public pages do not expose the club's private records. Flyball Hub does not sell member data or send unwanted email.

Why this exists

Flyball teams around the world handle the same admin: dogs, members, training dates, attendance and race-day plans. General club tools can store some of it, but they are not built around a sport where every team has human and canine members.

Flyball Hub started as a side project to solve a real problem: making team admin less scattered and more manageable. It's not trying to replace the social side of your group chat or the flexibility of a spreadsheet. It's meant to sit alongside those things and handle the bits they're not great at - attendance tracking, session planning, keeping dog info up to date.

We wanted something that just works. Nothing bloated, nothing over-complicated. Just the features teams actually use, without needing a training manual to figure it out.

Frequently asked questions

Is Flyball Hub free? Yes. The Free plan includes the core team tools and occasional ads. Premium is live with extra team features and no ads in the team workspace. Check the current Premium offer.

Do I need to create an account? Yes, but it's quick. You can sign up with email or Google. Members need accounts to RSVP and manage their dogs.

Can I import data from a spreadsheet? Not automatically yet, but it's on the list. For now, members can add their own dogs when they join, which spreads the data entry work.

What if I'm not very technical? That's fine. The interface is designed for everyone. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use Flyball Hub.

Can I use it for competition teams as well as training squads? Yes. Some clubs use it for their whole organisation with sub-teams for different squads.

Getting started

If you're a captain or admin, read the features overview, then open Flyball Hub to create a team. Invite a few members, set up a test session and see whether the RSVP flow fits your club.

If you're a member and your club already uses Flyball Hub, ask your captain for the invite link. You can claim your profile, add your dogs and start RSVPing without setting up the whole team yourself.
