Opportunities:
Moving toward the international competition season, we would like to offer an additional opportunity to race with Dragon Boat USA's National Team.
You are being offered the opportunity to become a member of the US National Dragon Boat Junior, Senior and Master's Team which will be competing at the ICF World Championships, August 30 to September 2, 2012 in Milan, Italy.
For those with little or no Dragon Boat experience, the transition to Dragon Boat from other paddling disciplines is relatively easy for paddlers with national-level racing experience.
Dragon Boat USA has created a special "support your favorite Athlete" page on the web site so friends and family can make donations on your behalf . This will be very helpful for qualifiers of Team USA.
Trials will include an in depth analysis of each athlete using the Merlin Data Acquisition Paddle. This paddle yields a computerized interpretation of each athlete's strength and endurance to their body weight and can quantitatively assess the talent through the water. The feedback about the Merlin's capabilities, from both coaches and athletes, has been tremendous.
If you are interested in being part of these trials and this unique opportunity to be part of Team USA, please fill in the form below or contact Dragon Boat USA's Coach.
