The Comox Valley Dragonflies Women's Dragonboat Team is gearing up for the new season commencing April 3, 2025 and we鈥檇 love to have you join our team! The Comox Valley Dragonflies has been paddling in the Comox Valley for over 20 years and is a cherished team for all those who have participated with us over the years.
Dragonboating consists of 20 paddlers and a steersperson all paddling together. Our wonderful coach guides us each week to build strength, character and community 鈥� the building blocks of a great team.
The Dragonflies practice at the Comox Marina each Monday and Thursday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., from April 3 to September 30. Coaching is available for new members, so previous experience is not required. A membership fee of $175.00 for the season will be requested once you have decided to join the team. All women, ages 18 and up, who are physically active and looking for a challenge are most welcome to join.
Fun-filled festivals are scheduled throughout the spring and summer with a bit of short-distance travel to locations on Vancouver Island required. These festivals give the team the opportunity to compete with many great teams across Vancouver Island and beyond. Once you join the Dragonflies, there is a requirement to participate in some or all of these festivals planned throughout the season.
The Dragonflies team is a wonderful group of all-ages women who are committed to building community, support for each other, and enjoy the challenge of dragon boating, full of fun and respect for teammates and the paddling community as a whole.
