TEAM ROSTERS - All Team Roster forms are now a google sheet which will be shared with each team captain several weeks before the event, for each Team captain to complete.  The Roster Google Sheet is a real time document that will update the Waiver indicator once the paddler's name is input.  All Team Captains will be able to see who has signed a Waiver instantly.

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.
