Roster and Waivers
Click the link below to download a ROSTER for your team. It is a Word document which you can complete and/or edit directly. Please utilize this form to submit your official roster to High Five Dragon Boat, and submit it Word format. Do NOT convert to PDF.
Teams with multiple crews participating must submit a separate roster for each team. Paddlers are only allowed to cross roster if they are participating on teams that are racing in different divisions. Paddlers cannot paddle on two teams that are registered in the same division (i.e. Premier Mixed).
Rosters can be emailed directly to roster@highfivedragonboat.com when completed. They are due no later than Monday, March 4th. Early submissions are encouraged! Don't worry, rosters can be edited up until Race Day registration.
The online WAIVER OF LIABILITY must be filled out by each and every team member who will be getting into a dragon boat during practice or race day. It is your responsibility to ensure all team members sign a waiver prior to race day. Online Waivers are due no later than Wednesday, March 6th.

Team Practices
Each local community team will receive a one-hour practice session in the week prior to racing, provided by High Five Dragon Boat. We 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.
