New River Rapids, a local Flyball team, presents the two-day Flyball Tournament titled "Fools for Flyball" on Saturday, April 5, 2025 and Sunday, April 6, 2025 at the Blacksburg Community Center.
Enjoy the controlled chaos that is our sport! Flyball is a very fast-paced (and loud) relay race for dogs featuring four dogs on each team. The tournament will feature 20 teams competing and all racing takes place inside the gym of the Blacksburg Community Center.
At first glance, Flyball is quite the contract to more traditional obedience based events. Loud with barking dogs and their handlers getting them amped up, it's like attending a rock concert versus a symphony. But don't let the apparent chaos fool you, these dogs are amazing athletes and spend many hours in training and practice.
The event is free to spectate, and a food truck will be on site on both Saturday and Sunday. Cabo Fish Taco will be on site on Saturday and the Copper Dog & Co. will be on site on Sunday.
Admission is free.
Leashed spectator dogs are also welcome.
If you are interested in spectating and seeing what this fast-paced dog sport is all about, please check out our tournament website and suggestions for spectators.
The Blacksburg Community Center is located at 725 Patrick Henry Drive in Blacksburg, VA.
