Welcome to Matsqui Flyball & Agility Club
Located in the city of Abbotsford in BC’s beautiful Fraser Valley, the Matsqui Flyball & Agility Club (MFAC) has been going strong since the early 1990’s. As a non-profit dog sport organization comprised of volunteers, our club was incorporated under the Societies Act of British Columbia on November 2, 1990.
We hosted our first Flyball tournament in May 1991. The first weekend of May has been known as “Matsqui’s Tourney” ever since. Our club joined the Agility Dog Association of Canada (ADAC), which was later replaced by the Agility Assocation of Canada (AAC). We hosted the second annual Agility Nationals for ADAC on September 8th and 9th, 1992. This was the first titling event held in Western Canada. There were entries from Northern BC, Calgary, Spokane, Seattle, and Texas. We continue to host an Agility trial the weekend after the September long weekend every year.
Throughout each year, we put on demonstrations of our sports at a variety of local events such as Mission’s Canada Day Celebrations and the Abbotsford Agrifair Horse and Hounds Show where we showcase our skills and answer questions people may have about our dogs or the sports we participate in. Take a look at our photo galleries for pictures from some of our events.
We currently offer Flyball & Agility lessons several times a year, if you are interested please see our Training page. You can let us know if you would like to try one or both sports by filling in & submitting our on-line form. We believe in teamwork and helping each other improve our handling skills in both sports.
Our club welcomes all dogs who have basic obedience skills (sit, stay, come, etc.), whether purebred or mixed breed (aka “All Canadian”) to help exercise both their bodies and minds, not to mention those of their handlers. We also accept Junior Handlers for lessons (which are children up to and including seventeen (17) years of age).
Spectators and volunteers are always welcome at all of our events.
May Madness Flyball Tournament 2026
We want to send a huge thank you to all the teams who came out to play with their dogs and support our very small club at the Matsqui May Madness Flyball tournament—it truly means so much to us. Our members worked incredibly hard behind the scenes to bring everything together, and we’re so proud of what we created as a group. We especially want to thank everyone for their patience on Saturday while we worked through some very challenging technical issues—we really appreciated your understanding. Although our club is small, we are mighty! 
Congrats on your retirement Tee!
We’d also love to take a moment to celebrate Tee’s retirement. She has been a steady, reliable, and beautiful part of our club for 13 years. Congratulations, Matilda—we know Tee will be completely spoiled in her retirement years with snuggles, strolls, and demanding her treats like no one’s business! Fable is back in the lanes and becoming a steady girl our club can rely on—so great to see her progress! And Cooper ran fantastically in his fancy bow tie and is getting closer to his next title—we’re so proud!
Finally, a huge shoutout to our volunteers and judges without whom the tournament would not run. These folks spent many hours over the course of all three days working hard to keep the dogs racing and the fun times going!
Our wonderful volunteers from Telus
Thank you again to everyone who came out and made the weekend so special.
Looking forward to seeing you all again next year!
