Dragon Boat Team Practices

Practice Season: May 1st To September 30th

Paddles up!!!

The Dragon Boat Practice Season is scheduled to open on May 1, weather dependent. Once the Glenmore Reservoir has been declared opened by the City of Calgary, we’ll be calling for volunteers to help launch the dragon boats for the season.

On March 15th, the online registrations will open. All teams must register a practice team to schedule times through CDBS between May and October.

Registered teams will be able to schedule practices through Society during the season. Important to note, we will try to schedule your team’s request as close to requested practice times as we cannot guarantee all requests.

All team members must also register and sign the online Paddler Registration / Waiver Form before they are allowed to paddle on water for the season.

Teams participating in the Race & Festival have until June 11 to register and qualify for the Early Bird Discount.

Festival Team Registration deadline is July 23rd.
