What: A disc dog (Frisbee dog) competition that is open to the public. This competition will be hosted by the St. Louis Disc Dogs. There will be multiple divisions so all skill levels can join in on the fun. If you have a dog that can catch a disc, or at least tries, then you are ready to be a competitor in the fun and growing sport of Disc Dog (more info below). If you want to be entertained by the fun filled and family friendly event, you are in luck, Free Parking and No Charge for any and all spectators. You are welcome to come and cheer on the dogs as they make their handlers look cool. Bring lawn chairs, blanket, canopy, picnic basket, etc. There is no bleacher seating at this field.

When: Saturday May 7th, Registration for competitors opens at 9am CDT and closes at 9:50am. Start time is 10am. Disc dog competitions run long when the turn-out is good, expect to stay until 3-4pm.
Why: Because it is fun. The Disc Dog Sport doesn't require a lot of money, it exercises your dog while you play; did I mention fun? St. Louis Disc Dogs encourage first time competitors to come out, we all started that way. Come and play with us, join our club for its benefits, but only if you want to, no pressure and no prejudice here.
What to bring: All dogs must be leashed! We will have a pavilion for competitors to use. You can also bring a canopy and set it up by the field. Bring lawn chairs, a cooler with drinks and lunch if you like. Bring a tie-out, crate, Ex-pen for your dog/dogs while they are not leashed or competing. Bring water for your dog. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for a while.
What NOT to Bring: Dogs that are in heat. Dogs that may have a contagious disease, all dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. There is no perimeter fencing around the competition field, if your dog is prone to running off this type of competition is not for you. Do not bring a bad attitude, this stuff is fun.
