How to create a team: Everything you need to know!
Here are the ingredients that make a great Dragon Boat Team:
- A Team Captain to organize, lead and motivate!
- A Pledge Coordinator who will receive pledges and encourage the team as they work toward their fundraising goals.
- A Drummer who will dress with team spirit and keep a steady rhythm from the start line to the finish line.
- 20 Paddlers who enjoy the power of working together in unison.
Team Captains can register online by clicking the link on the left. Have questions? Email us at norval.mcconnell@gmail.com or carole.murphy@nbcc.ca.
Once you are registered, we will be in regular contact with you to make sure that you have all the information you need as you prepare for Race Day. We'll let you know when Team Captain information meetings will be held, how to book a pratice slot the week before the event, and what to bring to the Festival.
As you recruit paddlers, you will want them to sign a waiver form. Every paddler must have a waiver form signed before they can take to the water during practice week.
