Flyball is a popular dog sport in the UK where teams of dogs race against each other over a line of hurdles to a box that releases a tennis ball when the dog triggers it. The dog then retrieves the ball and races back over the hurdles to the start line.
The sport is a fun and fast-paced activity that tests the speed, agility, and teamwork of both the dogs and their handlers.
Our flyball classes cater for owners who want to go the whole way and compete in a team and for owners who want to have great fun with their dogs at classes without the pressure of competitions.

With courses for all abilities, we make it easy for your dog to progress through the stages.
In Beginner’s Flyball, you and your dog will be learning about the sport, your dog will be introduced to jumps, start to learn to turn on the box, work on their retrieves, reward structure and recalls.
Your dog will be starting to put the different elements of flyball together, such as jumps and retrieve, jumps and turning on the training boxes and even collecting the ball from the training boxes and returning it to you over the jumps.
By this stage, your dog will be able to do a full run over the jumps, turn on a training box, collect the ball and return to you. During this level we will be transitioning your dog onto the real flyball boxes, teaching your dog to trigger the box and catch the ball. Learning how to run in a team with three other dogs. Learning how to use the start lights. It’s all going to start to feel a lot like flyball for real!
This level is for dogs who can now ‘do’ flyball and want to try their hand at competing, you start to get to know ‘your’ team, learn the rules, come along to competitions and have some fun.
These classes are for dogs and handlers who have got the flyball bug! Their dogs are experienced flyball dogs, attending shows and competitions, this is the top of the game – welcome to the SCDT Sussex Screamers Flyball Team!!
