The American Sighthound Field Association (ASFA) is preparing for its 35 Years Running anniversary! We are proud to be the first nationally known association for lure coursing. This sport is only for sighthounds, and does not use a live lure. We use a plastic bag on a string. While this sounds rather odd, unless you've seen it, you can't appreciate the enthusiasm, speed, agility, follow, and endurance that is expressed by these wonderful, sleek hounds.

Please feel free to explore this site and hopefully you'll learn more about the sport. If you have any questions, click on this Questions link and ask! We'll get back to you as soon as we can. Realize that we are usually out with our dogs, so it may not be the same day!

If you are interested in attending one of our trials, click on the Events page and look for a date that works for you and a location. You can click on the initials for the club to find an individual's e-mail address for more information on that trial. If you'd like to learn more about sighthounds, and what they are or which canine breeds qualify as sighthounds (for lure coursing needs), please click on the Photo Album from the home page. Then "take a book off the shelf" and read about the breed.

We have a lot of fun to offer. Give us a chance to show you just one more activity you can play with your sighthound.
