There are many different types of dragon boat teams in Calgary. Corporate teams sponsored by a company or organization will race in the Calgary Dragon Boat Festival, and there are community-based ‘club’ teams.
There are many different types of teams that participate in the Calgary Dragon Boat Festival, such as “club” teams, corporate sponsored, non-profit organizations, and teams made up of “breast cancer survivors”, young and old, novice to the “professionals”… whichever type, all enjoy the comradary of the sport of dragon boating…
Club teams generally have a longer practice season and compete at multiple festivals during the year.
Festival Team Registration

Ideal option for Corporate teams or out of town teams. For teams that do not need more than 5 practices, generally register under Festival Team Registration.
If your company or organization is interested in creating a team, contact the CDBS at registration@calgarydragonboatsociety.com and we can help get you started.
Practice Team Registrations

For those Club Teams or teams that practice more than 5 times in a season, its best to register your club team or team for practices here. Keep in mind that practice registration process is separate from the Race & Festival in August. All teams and paddlers must register again for the Festival.
If your company or organization is interested in creating a team, contact the CDBS at practice@calgarydragonboatsociety.com and we can help get you started.
