Question Home Flyball

I'm currently doing a degree course in Canine Behaviour & Training & one of the modules on the course is Progressive Dog Training. For our practical exams we have to teach our dogs a certain type of training-agility, scent work, competitive obedience, Rally-O etc. As Monty is crap at scent work & prefers more active stuff, I decided to go with Flyball.(couldn't do agility as it has to be a new thing, not something I've done before). Now, the main problem I have is that, as I'm living in Ireland, there is nowhere over here that does flyball (trust me to be awkward!lol). This means that I'm gonna have to teach Monty at home! The exam requirements themselves are ok-we have to follow the KC guidelines for beginners flyball. Can anyone give me tips-what I could use as jumps, flyball box etc, as I'm on a budget & can't afford to buy a whole flyball kit!lol What's the best way to start? How do I make sure Monty wants to come back when he has the ball? Help!lol
