This registration form is only to indicate your interest in joining a Fall AKC Agility League team. Once we have gathered those interested, we can then register for our Fall teams. After our teams are registered with AKC, you'll be contacted by one of our coaches with your team information. You will then need to register with AKC by September 4th in order to participate. Medina Swarm does not charge any fees, however, AKC does charge a handler fee ($32 per year) and a participation fee ($30 per season). Prices are subject to change and are in AKC control.
You will need to have an AKC registration number and if you don't have one, you can sign up for it here. ($35-$40 each dog. Again, these prices may change as they are set by AKC.)
The AKC Agility League adds a fun and exciting way for agility enthusiasts to train and compete on teams, giving a new aspect to what is an individual sport. The league provides an opportunity to compete safely in a recreational format on your home training field, while sharing the experience with competitors around the country and earning regional and national rankings.
Teams are comprised of three to eight dogs, and more than one team may be sponsored by the organizer. Teams may be a mix of jump heights and jump categories (Regular and Preferred). Veterans 10 years and older may jump up to two heights lower than their true jump height.
Teams compete on six courses during the season – one per each two-week round. Teams compete on their home facility fields. Scores are submitted to the AKC by the end of each two-week round. AKC calculates the final scores, which are time plus faults, and team final scores are an average of all team dogs’ scores.
Skill divisions are offered in Freshman (dogs who have not earned titles yet); Sophomore (dogs that have earned Novice or Open titles); and Senior (dogs with Excellent or above titles).
