We have 2 dragon boat teams - Paddlers of the Fifth Moon (mixed) and Snappin' Dragons (womens) and need a few more people to fill rosters for each, particularly our womens team. Both teams are supportive, inclusive, competitively-minded rec crews and usually place among the top of the rec crews on Vancouver Island. We're looking for fit, strong, committed, hard working people that are not fond of drama and have the drive to push the team to its potential. We’re aiming for the 20-49 age range to avoid recruitment competition with the 50+ crews but the right fit will not be excluded based on age. Absolutely no experience is needed, we will teach you everything you need to know! Our coach has over 20 years of coaching experience and holds Level 2 Competitive Certification. She is also the head coach of the Canadian National Para Dragon Boat Team with experience in international competition. We train on both sides with a strong focus on technique and injury prevention and our paddlers have access to a wide variety of cross-training options if interested from outrigger canoe, small group fitness training to a free run group. We do monthly video review and have access to PaddleMate systems for reporting force per stroke to further foster technical development. Our fees are some of the lowest in Victoria, the remainder of the season running at $200 for each (additional shirt cost of $35 for Snappin' Dragons). This covers practice time and festival entry for 3 races. Our season started Tues April 2 and will run until the Victoria festival Aug 10th. We take on paddlers throughout the season though as space permits. Snappin' Dragons practices 5:30-7pm (warm up 5:15pm); Fifth Moon practices 7-8:30pm (warm up 6:45pm) on Tues and Thurs at the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club. Festivals we will participate in are: Nanaimo Jul 13; Southern Island Jul 14; Victoria Aug 10. There is also an option to race Vancouver Island Aug 24-25 for an additional fee. If you're interested or would like more info, please shoot me an email. There is no obligation to join you can come check things out for free first.
