Watch out world, here they come...
Now that agility has been discovered and enjoyed
around the world, there are quite a few youngsters who have grown up with the sport. They're
already competing successfully in the ring against adults including their parents and
instructors. An example would be Sylvia Trkman who did so spectacularly with her dogs at WC2003
in Lievin (France) Today's youngsters are tomorrow's champions.
