All the dogs are racing down, getting tennis balls, then racing back and spitting them out.
The ball shagger collects all the loose balls so that no one trips over them and breaks their neck and also so that the team keeps track of their tennis balls.
This may seem like a trivial role, but it is actually very helpful.
Every race, within few minutes, 12 to 30 tennis balls end up rolling around the runback area.
There are also dogs racing back and fourth, handlers sprinting back and sometimes running backward, with all of their attention focused back on their dog as it races.
That runback area can be a very busy place.
This is a good role for the kids, the dogless, the dog-is-still-in-training types.
