Football has The Premier League. Rugby has Rugby League. Television has it's League of Gentlemen and cinema had it's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen so why shouldn't Agility have it's own leagues, too? Leagues bring people together and measure their skills and achievement against their peers. Even if you're not a joiner, it's fun to compare yourself to other handlers and their dogs and share mutual experiences.
