Fly Ball & Frisbee for Abby

Abby is now 8 months and loves to run and jump. I want to teach her a "sport" that she can run and jump. I don't know what fly ball is, so if someone can tell me what it is and how to teach her that would be great. Also, I would like to know if any of your boxers play frisbee, and if so how did you teach them. I have started tossing a tennis ball at Abby so she learns how to catch the ball, but other than that I don't know how to teach her to run and jump.
Thanks
Lisa

I don't do flyball, but essentially, it's a relay -


Here's a little info:

I play frisbee, but I don't do the freestyle frisbee - they are both too busy with Agility and Obedience

Happy Training!

I can't throw a frisbee without looking like an a@@! I'm thinking flyball might be an option though. Lara is an excellent fetcher!

Well, flyball wasn't what I thought. Any other running or jumping sports?
