Flyball

[animallover12]

hi everyone my obedience club i'm a member with doesn't do flyball i don't even think they know about flyball. So i was wandering how would one go about asking them if they would consider doing flyball? they already do obedience training and agility but not flyball. I would like to ask them if they would consider doing flyball aswell but wandered how to go about it.

My local club also only does Obedience and Agility.

It turns out they bought the equipment for Flyball but for reasons I cannot fathom they are not using it!

That's not something the Committee should keep to themselves when Club funds purchased the equipment. Maybe you could table a question for the AGM, either on the Agenda or from the floor. Could be a very good reason, like no instructor qualified or confident to teach, but people should know what's happening. Maybe one or two of your instructors could arrange to visit a Club that teaches flyball to get an idea of how to start teaching the basics.

Both clubs I've looked into invite all members to the committee meetings, maybe you could go along and suggest it there. Or if you don't want to take such formal steps maybe just bring it up to one of the trainers in converstation like "I've been thinking about doing flyball with my dog... is it something the club has ever considered?" or something.
