Achievements Future Tournaments HF on Facebook Hyper Flight is a very small, highly-competitive flyball club based in the Dallas, Texas area.  Our members are spread all over Texas, Oklahoma, and even Iowa, Illinois, and Colorado!.  We typically attend 7-9 tournaments a year.  About half of the tournaments we attend are held in Texas, but we travel all over the country seeking the best competition.  We have attended tournaments in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. There are two governing bodies for flyball in North America: U-FLI & NAFA.   U-FLI was formed in 2005 (NAFA is older).  Since 2006 we have competed exclusively in U-FLI events.  We are friends with many NAFA competitors, and we believe that the vast majority of NAFA competitors are great people.  However, we plan to continue competing only in U-FLI events for the foreseeable future.   We strongly believe that flyball races should be won or lost in the racing lane.   We have no interest in trying to get our fellow competitors disqualified in flyball judicial proceedings (and thankfully, none of our fellow U-FLI competitors seem to have an interest in this either).  We will try every way--within the rules--to beat you in the racing lane, but when the race is over, we will congratulate you if you beat us; that's how flyball should be played.  We are completely uninterested in flyball politics. We have attended every U-FLI Championship Tournament.  We don't always win, but we are always willing to give it our best shot, and we are never scared to test ourselves against the best in the sport.  At the last eight U-FLI Flyball Championships (2008 - 2015), we have placed no worse than 3rd in Division 1 team racing and no worse than 3rd in Division 1 singles racing.  Additionally, we have won Division 1 pairs three times and placed second three times.  In all, we have eight U-FLI Division 1 Championships (team, singles, pairs combined), which is more than any other club in the history of the sport. We believe it is important to give back to the flyball community by hosting tournaments and helping other clubs host tournaments.  In March 2016, we will host our 42nd tournament weekend (that's 84 one-day tournaments!) since November 2006.  We pride ourselves in having fun, participant-friendly tournaments.  The atmosphere at our tournaments is very relaxed, and everyone is treated the same, whether their dog runs the course in 7 seconds or 3.5 seconds.   We might be open to new members joining the club.  Anyone wanting to join should realize that we practice one day a week, typically for at least seven hours.  All members are expected to stay the entire duration of practice and help with training each dog.  We typically take over a year to train a dog to the point it can race in a tournament.  There are other clubs in the Dallas area that have much briefer practices and that will allow a new dog to race in competition sooner than Hyper Flight would.  If you are interested in playing flyball, feel free to contact us (e-mail) and we will be happy to advise you how to proceed.      Hyper Flight's relationship to U-FLI No member of Hyper Flight is an owner--or even close friends with an owner--of U-FLI.  No Hyper Flight member sits on any U-FLI committees, although two members (Lee Brown and Jessica Love) are U-FLI judges.  We have no inside knowledge or influence on U-FLI's planning or marketing.  We are just another club that enjoys racing in U-FLI events.
