About Us
-
Founded March 2018
-
Set up by Tina, Chris and Julia Hatcher. Tina started Flyball in April 2013 after going to Crufts 3 years in a row and falling in love with the idea of Flyball. She researched local clubs and we all joined Fenland Firestorm with Bella (Yellow Labrador). After 2 years we moved on with Bella and Charly (Cocker Spaniel}, to Cambridgeshire Canines where we spent 3 very happy years. During our time at CC’s we added Jack (Welsh Springer Spaniel), Millie (Border Collie)) and Zarah (Border Collie/Working Sheepdog). In July 2021 Jessie (Working Cocker Spaniel) joined the family and is aspiring to join her brothers and sisters in their flyball career.
-
We have travelled extensively with Flyball both in the UK and Europe to compete in the European Championships, Millie and her team gained a 4th divisional championship win in Belgium in 2017. During our time with CC’s we were included in hosting the most successful European Championships at Trinity Park, Ipswich Suffolk in 2016.
-
In early 2018 we decided as a family to embark on and run our own club and look forward to new members experiencing Flyball as we do.
-
There are two flyball associations within the UK, BFA (British Flyball Association) and UKFL (UK Flyball League), Wash Warriors are currently a dual team who race in both associations, we do predominately race BFA at the moment. Both organisation have two formats of racing, block and staggered. Our aim as a club is to run outdoor during the summer and indoors during the winter, primarily in block but we are happy to run the staggered format at tournaments where needed.

Tina was heavily involved in helping set up the UK Flyball League in 2017, she was the Treasurer for 5 years and volunteered on the committee between 2019-2022. Tina is also a qualified judge for both associations.
