We are a fun friendly flyball team who train most Saturdays at the Richardson Evans Memorial Playing Fields on Wimbledon Common. Flyball is fun and allows both dogs (and handlers) to exercise their brain and body. We want all dogs to get as much enjoyment out of flyball as they can whether in training or in competition. We aim to provide a friendly atmosphere in which both dogs and handlers can reach their full potential. The social aspect of our club is as important to the dogs as the owners. We are Kennel Club and British Flyball Association registered. Flyball Club flyball dog training
Flyball is a fast and fun sport for dogs and their handlers. A team of dogs must hurdle 4 jumps, retrieve a ball from a spring-loaded box and return over the 4 jumps before changing with the next dog A team consists of up to 6 dogs, with 4 racing at any one time. Faults are awarded for an early change, dropped ball or missed jumps. Any dog that gets a fault must run their leg again in order for the team to complete.
SW19 Swifts were privileged enough to be invited by the WPCC to take part in their 150th anniversary celebration games day at the Windmill on Wimbledon Common.
The day was a tremendous success that gave us the opportunity to showcase our club and demonstrate the sport of Flyball to the public, as well a generating lots of interest from potential new members.
Thoroughly enjoyed by the jubilant crowd, great fun was had by both dogs and handlers.
A very well done to both dogs and handlers who took part in the weekends competition.
SW19 Swifts secured 1st place and won their division.
