Team Practices

Each team will receive a one-hour practice session in the week prior to racing. High Five Dragon Boat will provide the boats, paddles, lifevests and a coach to each team.  Teams are responsible for providing the paddlers and a drummer!  We'll teach you all about paddling and racing.

Teams should arrive 15 minutes prior to their practice session.

Practice schedule will be available at a later date.
