Events
The NSWLCA holds regular events in the cooler months of the year, including trials, tests, workshops and try out days. We recommend that dogs attend a try out day prior to entering a trial.

Try out days
The NSWLCA usually holds two try out days before the start of the lure coursing season each year, with one in Sydney and the other in Southern NSW. These days are normally geared towards new coursers, dogs who may need some more encouragement to course a lure or puppies who are not old enough to attempt a full course, however as we have now largely lost 2 full seasons to covid-19 cancellations, we encourage experienced lure coursers to come along to our 2022 try out days so handlers can assess their dog's fitness on course.
We will announce our 2022 Try Out Days on our Facebook page when dates have been decided.

Tests & Trials
The NSWLCA holds multiple ANKC tests and trials each year, generally holding one per month from April-September. In order for your dog to compete, you must be a financial member of a state controlling body (in NSW, this is Dogs NSW) and your dog must be over the age of 12 months and registered with the ANKC. If you haven't entered lure coursing before, please note that all breeds first enter the Junior Courser (JC) class.
In our experience, people often underestimate the level of physical exertion required from the dog while lure coursing. The course length is from 650 to 900 metres, which the dog will be required to complete twice on the trial day to qualify. For this reason, the NSWLCA recommends that only fit, well muscled and in-condition dogs enter ANKC trials.
The easiest method of entering NSWLCA trials is online at Easy Dog Entries.
