NATE UPDATE

Congratulations to Recent Titling Teams!

Three cheers for Mary Ann and Deacon from Virginia for earning their Novice Balls N Order Title! This veteran standard poodle starts with his signature leap that will bring a smile to your face then prances his way through the run ending with a cheerful long distance go out to the final ball. Great work! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFLoy3rAeek&feature=youtu.be

Let’s congratulate Carolyn and Bodhi from North Carolina! They are our second team to earn an Outstanding Master Balls N Order Title. Bodhi’s accurate steering proved critical as all 10 runs were filmed in pop-up fields with minimal boundaries to play against. Enjoy watching their great teamwork as they bring in 9 balls in the correct order. Outstanding! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A98Fn1rNzdQ&feature=youtu.be

Hooray for Martha and Scout from Washington for earning their Novice Standard Title! They make short work of 3 balls with Scout pushing confidently and getting two for one with balls 2 and 3. Looking forward to seeing more from this new team! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRhNuaUx3eA&feature=youtu.be

Let’s celebrate Kerrie from Australia and her two dogs! Solan, a senior, earns his Intermediate Standard Title with amazing stamina and speed - also demonstrating how to redirect to the point ball on run 1. Sprocket shows off a nice smooth run and great response to cues as he completes his Outstanding Novice Standard Title. Both submissions are in a backyard pop-up field that requires excellent ball control and steering. Enjoy watching their teamwork! (Edited Note: This post describes and attaches the video for Solan's Advanced title not his Intermediate. Sorry for the confusion.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wy13pDRipw&feature=youtu.be

Three cheers for Mary Ann and Deacon from Virginia for earning their Intermediate Balls N Order Title! They steer through the required six balls in order with beautiful teamwork. This run includes one call off and a direct send past close in balls to the correct ball at the back of the field. This is one veteran who still knows how to prance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDN808tcSuI&feature=youtu.be

Mary Ann and Deacon are back! This time earning their Advanced Standard Title! Deacon does an amazing job sticking with the point ball while threading it through the formation. They go on to bring in the other 7 balls, Deacon finding enough energy to give us a second signature leap of joy halfway through.Congratulations!

Let’s congratulate Sandy and Ally from Indiana, our third team to earn an Advanced Balls N Order title! With eight balls to bring in correctly, you will have lots to watch here. Notice their excellent teamwork through three call offs - including a tough one on the 3rd to last ball, awesome redirects, and her signature spins just because she can. This cutie knows her stuff!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEKLfsUxtuA&feature=youtu.be

Hooray for Brenda and Tia from Indiana for earning their Novice Balls N Order title. They handle rolling back a foul ball and redirection with ease. Tia is eager and shows us very nice steering and ball control. Great work you two! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0exqgffPa_w&feature=youtu.be

Sandy White and Harriett Weatherford share the honor of receiving NATE's 100th title. Thanks to you both and all members for growing the sport of Treibball! Keep on pushing!

For the first time NATE sponsored a booth at the APDT conference this year, which was held in Portland, Oregon, Oct. 30 to Nov. 2.

NATE Trainer, and newest Board Member, Eric Sanford, volunteered his time not only to man the booth and educate other trainers about the sport, but performed a Treibball demonstration with his trusty side kick Jet-Fly I.  

Eric found that NATE's presence at the conference was a big success and attending trainers were excited to see Treibball being represented there.

NATE’s main Mission Statement is …“to promote worldwide participation of the sport of Treibball and educate the public about training and competition for the sport.”

If any other members or trainers would like more information on how they can help promote NATE and Treibball, please contact info@nationaltreibball.com.

 A Special Thanks to Eric, Jet and his crew of volunteers , as well as the entire NATE Board for volunteering their time to make this event come together and a huge success!
