Training expectations
A winning team is comprised of a group of like-minded and goal-oriented individuals. To succeed at the National and International level, there must be consistent training, both on and off the water.


Coaches
The coaches will be accomplished paddlers and coaches from the FCRCC Premier Dragon Boat program.  In addition to impressive resumes, all will be Dragon Boat Canada certified.  Programming and guest coaching will be provided by Kamini Jain, two-time Olympian and multiple dragon boat and outrigger World Champion.


Program Fees
Master's Program fees are $300.00

In addition, each team member will need to be a full individual member of FCRCC which will then allow access to the program and club equipment.
