The Summer Sizzler tournament was a blast! 🔥 Thank you to Prime Time Flyball for hosting! It was a very well-run tournament with awesome awards & a great raffle! BT won several big raffle prizes!
At the tournament we welcomed our newest BT member Kelly and his border collie, Bella who made her debut over the weekend.
We ran 3 teams- BING 💥 BANG 💥 BOOM 💥, a pairs team & multiple singles. Cherry & BB8 also had some very successful preflights.
With a few dogs out this month, it allowed this tournament to be a good opportunity for our young racers to be in the lanes.
Dogs of the weekend go to all of our debut dogs! Mamba, Prim & Bella all had their singles debuts. Mamba won fastest singles of the weekend putting a 3.59 on the clock (3.54 L2L)! Salsa made her pairs debut running in start with Flare and team debut running in start on BING. Saber made her A-team debut running in start putting up some speedy times! Confetti also made her A-team debut and ran her little heart out with the BOOM dogs. She ran both in anchor and start over the weekend, setting the jumps back down to 9”! 🎊
Some other highlights of the weekend included a perfect start for Doreen & Pizza, new best time for Sascha running in start on BING with a 4.28 L2L, and our height dog pug, Manon, (who ran full time on BING over the weekend) ran a new best time of 4.89 L2L. Great job, team!!

See you back in the racing lanes in September!

Over the weekend we co-hosted the first Anchor Tournament in Texas along with our friends Hyper Flight Flyball Club & Top Dog Racers! ⚓️ It was a huge success! We had teams travel in from Arizona, Nebraska, Alaska & Canada to race in our region. The awesome competition and seeing so many friendly faces made it such a special event. The atmosphere was like a mini-champs!
Some of the most memorable things about the tournament were a great raffle organized by Teresa & Sylvia, welcome Cookie Cakes for each team made by Bethany, a U-Fli sponsored pizza party after racing, and a thrilling Box Loader challenge! Congratulations to Veni on winning 1st place!
We ran 3 full BT teams for the first time and also had our first BT Variety team! Several of our dogs had no errors all weekend. We love seeing our dogs progressing so well. Our Variety lineup included a Doberman Pinscher, Whippet, Cocker Spaniel, & Border Collies!
Dogs of the weekend go to our new height dogs Confetti & Manon who both made their team debuts! Way to go speedy girls! 🎉
Last but not least, we want to wish all of the members of Special Fources Flyball Club the best! Thank you for running pick up teams with us in the past and helping us in the lanes at times when we were short handed. We love y’all!
