We will need help for line and box judging (total minimum volunteers needed 10), set up/tear down (20 volunteers), *mission control (8 volunteers) is tracking the races and results via computer plus some other duties to cover as well. *We will have two missions control sites or one for each ring of action. Training for all these positions will be given on site at the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center in Concord on Friday afternoon and Saturday am prior to the start of racing at 8am.
Flyball races match two teams of four dogs each, racing side-by-side over a 51 foot long course. Each dog must run in relay fashion down the jumps, trigger a flyball box, releasing the ball, retrieve the ball, and return over the jumps. The next dog is released to run the course but can't cross the start/finish line until the previous dog has returned over all 4 jumps and reached the start/finish line. The first team to have all 4 dogs finish the course without error wins the heat.

Mission Statement
We are a small foster home system that believes that a caring and compassionate commitment to the pets that we share our lives with provides for an enriching environment for us all. We believe that it is our responsibility to leave footprints for the ones that will come behind us, to make a difference and to make our contributions meaningful and long-lasting. We are a non-profit group of volunteers who care deeply about animals and our community. We exist entirely on donations from our supporters. We see hundreds of animals whose bonds with humans have been broken. To help maintain and restore those bonds, we serve as a community resource for information about companion animals and their care. We want to create awareness within our community about the immediate need to reduce the number of unwanted and discarded pets. The cornerstone of our program is to educate and promote the concept of spaying and neutering. Our educational programs are designed to foster those values of respect, compassion, and reverence for life that make the world a safer place for both animals and humans, Each year, our staff of volunteers takes our message of compassion to schools and community groups.
Description
