We are a competitive flyball team committed to running our dogs at sanctioned tournaments and training them as required for the ultimate aim of enjoyment of the sport by both dogs and members of the team. Our goals include the following:
that all dogs and team members have fun;
that all dogs have the opportunity to run in races
at tournaments and take part in any
other
activities involving the team;
that concern for winning tournaments, or for
establishing new team racing records,
is
secondary after the first two goals have been achieved;
that competitive winning will be gained via
training existing team dogs and/or
young
dogs owned by established team members rather than by importing new
"fast" dogs or replacing existing team members;
that NAFA points, certificates, and pins, do not
represent goals in and for
themselves, but as incidental rewards of pursuing the teams primary goals;
that the fulfillment of these goals shall be
brought about by the proper functioning
of a
democratic team structure in which each member contributes to all
discussions and
team initiatives.
