With so many options, it's not hard to find a team that fits your interests, personality, and availability.
Lots of teams to choose from
There's a team for everyone! We have mixed teams, women's teams, breast cancer survivor teams, 50+ (Senior) teams, recreational teams, competitive teams, and youth (high school) teams.
You don't need to join Dragonsports to give paddling a try
The good news is that you can find a team, paddle with them three times, see if you like it, and only then come back here to join DragonSports and pay the one-time membership fee. Simply click the link below to join as a provisional member for free.
You can filter teams by "type of team" (mixed, women's, etc.) and/or filter teams by the days of the week they practice.
Simply use the drop-down to filter the teams, or use Search to find a team by name, description, type, or by any other field.
Click the + sign to the left of the team name to display the team description, team logo, what time of year they paddle, and a link to contact the team.
