Registration for Fall Frenzy Agility Workshops will open starting Monday, September 11th at 8:00 PM.
**PLEASE NOTE: Some workshops have different start times than usual! Some workshops are full day! Please read descriptions carefully!
**REMINDER! Registering does NOT guarantee you a spot! You will receive a confirmation email alerting you as to whether or not you got in. Please make sure you type your email address correctly!
In an effort to reduce stress and increase fairness, any workshop that over-fills within the first 12 hours, will have spots given by random draw. If a workshop does not fill in the first 12 hours, spots will be first come first serve.
The registration links will be available on the home page of the website under “Fall Frenzy Registration.” in the top left corner. We are trying a new registration system that will hopefully make things easier for everyone.
Registering does not guarantee you a spot. There will be more sign ups available than spots so that we are able to create waitlists and pull for the random draw. We will email you to confirm spots. If, after registration opens, you do not see anything available, it means that the workshop and the waitlist are full.
A few of our workshops have a new full-day format. Please read the details carefully as the price, start time, and workshop length are not the same for each workshop.
