We can squeeze in a few more bodies as we're missing a couple people for some of our standard festivals (I'm a big fan of large rosters!). We're looking to try balance the genders a little better so at the moment we only have male roster spots open but things could change so if you're a keen female, shoot me a message too and I can let you know where we're sitting.
We practice out of GRPC Tues and Thurs at 7-8:30pm from April until Aug (Sept if you want to do Head of the Dragon or Portland).
We do 4 standard festivals (sprints, Nanaimo, Gorge and Vic) and usually hook up with other crews for an optional 3-4 other festivals.
You'll train both sides with a focus on injury prevention. Our coach (me) has taken numerous dragon boat courses including DBC level 1 in addition to NCCP level A&B and BRCPA fitness theory and has a strong focus on technique and background interest in exercise physiology, I was also named Coach of the Year at GRPC last season so you're in good hands (I also don't charge our crew for coaching as I'm also a paddler with the team so it helps keep our fees down a little).
We have a great crew, fun to be around and extremely hardworking, we'd love to add to the roster to give us more festival flexibility. This is our 10th season, we came in silver in diamond in Victoria last year, 0.01sec out of gold and are looking to do even better this year. So if you're a strong, fit, enthusiastic, reliable, hardworking person that's fun to be around looking to find a solid team with no drama, we're it! Shoot me an e-mail at
[email protected] and I'll let you know where our #s are at and give you the fee breakdowns etc.
Thanks, Katy
