Dragon Boating is a Team sport... I love it!

I have coached dragon boat teams since 1994. The Gung Haggis Fat Choy Dragon Boat team originally began 10 years ago as the Celebration dragon boat team - before changing names in 2002 to reflect the Gung Haggis Fat Choy fundraiser dinner, and embrace the Scottish-Chinese-Canadian intercultural theme as an extension of the multicultural theme adopted by so many different dragon boat festivals.... ~~~~~ The "team aspect" is incredible. You can do so many more things at a higher level than as an individual. A team of 20 paddlers can pull a water skier. But you can't do that by yourself. It's fun to bounce ideas off each other, and develop both support for each other as well as friendly competition. But it is also important that everybody is on the same page. If teams can develop a "team culture" and "team philosophy" - then this helps the team go farther. It is important for a recreational team to develop a sense of inclusiveness, and for captains and other group leaders to make sure everybody is feeling included and making a contributtion, AND having fun.

Dragon Boat season again: Gung Haggis Fat Choy team hits the water on Sunday March 4th

The Gung Haggis Fat Choy dragon boat had an incredible season in 2006, and we look forward to an even better season with so many returning paddlers. We welcome recreational and beginner paddlers... and if we have enough beginner paddlers we will spin off a 2nd team for beginners....
Our team emphasizes fun, food, and fitness and multiculturalism... in that order. Sometimes we say we have a foodie team that likes to paddle. But our paddlers have also decided to unleash their competitive nature for 2007 and really want to improve for this season... while still accomplishing fun, food and fitness and multiculturalism. more »
