EVERY season has its strengths--Fall gives paddlers a chance to ease the focus from sprint racing to stroke perfection. After a long hard summer of racing there’s nothing better than just getting on the water with friends and racking up the kilometers. To facilitate this, National Dragonboat Club will once again be offering a complete Fall Training program for paddlers looking to stretch the dragonboat season to the max.
Beginning Tuesday, Sept. 14th, NDC’s Fall Training program is built around the successful completion of the 5KM Humber River Run on October 23rd (Details below). Each of the 6 weeks, crews will incrementally build stamina and endurance that will enable paddlers to handle the 5KM up and down the Humber River. This program is great for new paddlers looking to join the sport or for experienced paddlers aiming to meet new people or paddle beyond their team’s season.
HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAM - A comprehensive program for experienced paddlers looking to improve technique and paddling endurance.
SESSIONS: Tue/Thu 6:00PM, Sat 8:30AM
$199 + HST PROGRAM FEE
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM - For recreational paddlers looking to improve fitness and develop technique. Focused on preparing athletes for the High Performance program.
