Our story
Built bya track coach
All-Star started with one Border Collie mix, one track coach and one rented barn. Today it's the Midwest's home field for seven dog sports.
Blitz · where it all startedThe founder
Eleven years coachingsprinters. Then Blitz.
Darius Coleman spent eleven years as a strength and conditioning coach for a Big Ten track & field program. He knew how to build sprinters, jumpers and throwers: warm-ups, smart training blocks, cross-training and rest days.
Then he adopted Blitz, a Border Collie mix with more drive than a 4×100 relay team, and signed up for an agility class. The class was fun. The warm-up didn't exist. So in 2019 he started his own, in a rented barn, with a stopwatch and a whiteboard.
Handlers asked for rally, then nose work, then flyball. Seven years later, All-Star is one home field for seven sports, with a coaching staff that thinks like a training room.
Season by season
How we got here
From eight dogs on a Tuesday night to 36 trials and events a year.
The barn nights
Darius rents a hay barn in Hamilton County and runs Tuesday-night agility for eight dogs. Every class starts with a warm-up, which was unheard of at the time.
Rally and nose work join
Mei-Lin and Tom sign on. Classes move outdoors for most of the year, and the waitlist passes 100 dogs.
The warehouse
All-Star signs the lease on a 28,000 sq ft former distribution warehouse on Fieldhouse Drive. Greta brings Treibball from Germany.
Opening day
The full campus opens with the Dock, the Hay Loft and two flyball lanes. Brooke founds the Noblesville Nitro and Malik and Kelsey join the staff.
The roof opens
A retractable roof goes over the Dock and three outdoor acres are fenced for summer courses and Treibball.
Seven sports, 36 events
Over 600 dogs trained, and trials hosted for seven sanctioning bodies: AKC, UKI, NACSW, NAFA, NADD, BHA and AATA.
The facility
Tour the home field
A 28,000 sq ft climate-controlled building plus three outdoor acres, laid out so every sport has its own space.
The Training RoomAthlete-first
A training room for dogs
Every new dog gets a free conditioning screen: posture, flexibility, balance and a look at how they move. Coaches use it to plan warm-ups and flag anything worth showing your vet.
- Coached warm-up and cool-down in every class
- Balance discs, cavaletti and peanut balls for core strength
- Monthly Canine Conditioning class, free for All-Star members
- Rest-day reminders built into the competition calendar
The playbook
Four rules, seven rings
Athlete-first
Every class opens with a coached warm-up and ends with a cool-down. Every new dog gets a free conditioning screen.
Cross-train
Mix sports on one membership. Nose work sharpens focus for agility; Treibball builds the impulse control flyball needs.
One home field
Train and trial in the same building, so your first trial isn't in a strange place with strange smells.
A path for every level
Four levels in every sport, from the very first class to the competition team, with clear goals at each step.
