Practice
We practice Sundays from 12 - 2pm at Four Paw Sports Center in Lynnwood, WA. We can always use another pair of hands, so come by and check it out, we’ll put you to work!
Tournament Focus
Engage Flyball is registered with the National Flyball Association (NAFA) in region 7. We endeavor to attend all the tournaments within region 7 and try to travel outside the region for experiences maybe once a year. That used to be about 12 tournaments per year pre-pandemic, and it may one day return to those levels including us hosting a tournament once in a while. The rest of the time we are practicing each week and engaging in other fun activities like dock diving.
Not every member may be able to attend every event, but as a team our goal is to show up competitive to each tournament in our region.
Leadership
Engage Flyball is owned and run by Joy Adiletta. Joy is a fierce organizer, a scientist, a border collie lover and a k9 fitness business owner. Together Joy and Chris have run flyball since 2003 along with great friends like Paul and Tami Linnerud. We all participate to keep the club running, but final decisions and organization are on Joy, which is just the way we like it.
Philosophy
Flyball is a relay race among a team of four dogs. Engage flyball will build tiered teams based on average and reliable racing speeds. Our A team, Blueshift, is the fastest 3 dogs plus a height dog to compete in regular competition.
We will then adjust to fill goals for competing in other classes such as multi-breed or open divisions, or meet goals of dog point totals and take home individual titles.
