The K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch League is a three-year old organization that holds four 5-week league competitions a year.

Beginners and intermediate players have handicaps that allow them to compete with expert players.
Players also advance in rank as they gain experience.  
The October 12 throw-off will be the first championship of the League.
The Dahlonega Club is led by co-captains Amy Looby and Rick Nielsen. It has competed as a club for two seasons. The club is small, and enthusiastic, and is proud to have surpassed much larger cities like Atlanta and Boston.
The league is beginner-friendly, and is a great way to learn the sport of disc dogging.
