Flyball is a team sport for dogs and their human companions. It is a fast-paced relay race consisting of four dogs per team. The dogs are trained to jump four hurdles in a straight line, trigger a "Flyball Box" to shoot out a tennis ball, then run back over all four hurdles with the ball. The first team to get all four of their dogs down to the box and back without errors WINS! A Flyball Team usually consists of 4-6 dogs with their handlers and one boxloader.
Who are the Denver Speed Demons?
The Denver Speed Demons club formed in 2007. We were previously part of the DEO Speedwaggin' flyball club. DEO began training and competing in flyball in 2002 and was one of the oldest and largest clubs in the state. Due to DEO's rapid growth in Colorado and its large size, the group split into five separate regional clubs. The Denver area group is now The Denver Speed Demons. We compete in NAFA (North American Flyball Association) sanctioned tournaments and put on flyball demonstrations for various groups and events in the Denver area.
Can I play? Puppies and Beginner Flyball
We offer a Beginner Flyball and Intermediate Flyball Program alongside our Advanced Practices at Matrix Dog on Sunday evenings. We are now offering options for puppies as well. In our Beginners we introduce dogs to the basics of flyball. We focus on going over the jumps, recalls, motivation, turns and retrieving the ball from a box. No aggressive dogs are allowed in classes. If you are interested in training, please contact us for more information.Intermediate and Advanced Flyball
