Hi all -
just discovered this sport - it would be a natural for my girl (even tho she's 6)
wish I'd discovered it a few years ago.
trying to get started with her in the tampa, fl area,
but it looks like the nearest club is down in Ft. Myers/Naples.
gas is kind of high now to go there, I'm thinking.

couple questions if y'all can help clarify to a newbie?

1. do people join a club to practice weekly, or just once in a while?
2. must you join a club in order to participate in an event?

3. I'm not clear on affiliations - splashdog vs. dockdog, I think I get.
I'm not at all clear on where ultimate air dog fits in.

any suggestions / info would be most appreciated !
any other Tampa/St. Pete dock jumpers out there?
thanks !
