About Flyball - NAFA 

To standardize the rules, keep records of tournaments, and guide the development of Flyball racing, the North American Flyball Association, Inc.(NAFA®) was formed in 1985 by a group representing 12 teams from Michigan and Ontario.

Interest and participation in Flyball has soared since its beginning and is now enjoyed throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and other countries. NAFA has over 300 registered clubs with more than 14,000 registered dogs.

Flyball races offer fast paced action with plenty of excitement for dogs, handlers, and especially spectators. Many teams run all 4 dogs through the course in less than 20 seconds. The NAFA record is now under 16.0 seconds.

NAFA tournaments are divided into divisions so that teams compete against other teams of equal abilities.

All dogs including mixed breeds are eligible to compete and earn titles in NAFA sanctioned tournaments.

Titles are earned via a point system based on the time it takes a team to complete each heat race.
