About us
Love, Pride, Unity - Dragon Boating
Charlotte Dragon Boat Association is a non-profit organization created to promote the sport of dragon boating in our region.
Have you ever wondered what dragon boating is all about?
Here is the CCTV (China Central Television) coverage of the Oak Ridge dragon boat race on May 31st, 2014:
Charlotte Dragonboat invites all meetup folks to come and try it out. No experience is necessary. All age groups and fitness levels are welcome and we provide all the gear. You just need to wear workout clothes that can get splashed on, and bring water to drink.
Competitive team practice:
Wednesday 6:30 PM till 7:45 PM
Saturday 8:45 AM till 10:00 AM
Beginner dragon boat practice:
Saturday 10:00 AM till 11:30 AM
We hope you can join us!
