Our team

We are currently a small-but-mighty five, spread between San Diego, CA and Las Vegas, NV.

The beginning

X Flyball started its journey in November 2009. We began running together at Rude Dogs West's Rock the West tournament on December 5-6, 2009, where we were grateful to Lickety Splits and Leap of Faith for running pick-up teams with us.

What's in an X?

With over 30 years of flyball experience between us, the founding members of our new team quickly realized that all together, we had been members of many other teams before starting this new team ... ten to be exact! Thus, X was born. Although it began as a way to symbolize "ten," we quickly embraced all of the exciting possibilities that the letter X had to offer.

Our foundation

All dog activities aside, we are great friends who enjoy spending time with our dogs and each other. (We happen to enjoy playing flyball together too!) We love brainstorming about new things to try with our dogs, whether it is a conditioning exercise, a different training method, or a new activity altogether. Our dogs (and people) also participate in schutzhund, agility, sprint and oval racing, herding, dock diving, conformation, hiking and therapy work when they are not playing flyball.

Thanks

Being a new and very small team at the moment, we are grateful to all of the teams that have offered their help and encouragement throughout our fledgling beginnings. We have been humbled by the outpouring of generosity and unsolicited support from our fellow competitors:
