About Flyball Fever

Flyball Fever began life in December 2008, as a forum on a free web hosting site. As the membership grew, and the host became overloaded, the decision was made to get a domain name and have more control over the design. As the idea developed, it was soon decided to have an adjoining website too.

Hopefully Flyball Fever will be a valuable resource to the flyballing world, along with the BFA website which holds valuable contact information, statistics and a discussion board. Supplementary to that site, Flyball Fever will have team information, reviews, articles, singles & pairs information, and much more to help you get your flyball fix. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or a beginner looking to start, we hope that you will enjoy Flyball Fever.
