flyball
High arcing hit
Flyball is a dog sport where teams of dogs race relay-style over hurdles to retrieve a ball from a spring-loaded box.
The dogs trigger the box, catch the ball, and race back so the next dog can go.
Speed and precision matter: Their border collie is a flyball champion.
In baseball, a fly ball (two words) is a ball hit high into the air.
