Club Info
DiscDoGG provides a fun
social outlet for dogs and their handlers. Come out and
enjoy the company of your dog while you make new
friends at the same time. All skill levels are welcome
to participate, from novice to the advanced competitor.
This sport is ideal for men, women, boys and girls
alike.
Play Days
Whether or not your dog currently catches discs, play days offer a great opportunity for you to learn how to play Frisbee in a safe, fun and supportive environment. These events are free and open to anyone interested in learning this sport.
At a typical play day, workshops
are held to teach and practice different types of
throws or skills to newer members. During these initial
throw training sessions the receiver is usually another
human.
More experienced teams share their freestyle pointers and practice tricks. A mini-distance field is set up for those wanting to practice Toss & Fetch.
Competitions
The Novice Division is designed for teams new to the sport. It consists of two rounds of Mini-Distance only, no Freestyle. Novice teams move up to Intermediate after one year of competition.
The Intermediate Division is for
experienced teams who have won several times at the
novice level or who have competed for over one year.
Intermediate consists of two rounds of Mini-Distance
with no Freestyle round.
The Advanced/Open Division is for competitors with a Freestyle routine. Freestyle consists of a timed routine of tricks choreographed to music in addition to one round of Mini-Distance.
Other competition formats include pure distance events. The disc is thrown as far as possible and your dog must successfully complete the catch. An obstacle event tests the handlers throwing skill and control with the dog providing a successful catch in a selected zone.
