Whether you've never picked up a paddle before, or you've been Dragon Boating for years, Houston Heat welcomes paddlers of all levels of experience!

Dragon Boat racing is suitable for all levels of fitness with mixed male/female crews; no previous experience is required. But enthusiasm, dedication and a genuine team spirit are a must!

The best way to try out Dragon Boating is to join us at a Saturday morning water practice. Just check the schedule, register online for a practice, and then meet us on Saturday morning - that's it!  Saturday water practices last approximately 2 hours, and all equipment (boats, paddles, personal floatation devices) is provided.  Don't worry if you've never paddled before - our practices are geared towards all levels of experience.  If you'd like to contact someone before coming to a practice, send an email to the Coaches.

The first two water practices are FREE for first-timers & guests. To continue paddling with us after your trial period is over, you can either pay a per-practice fee of $5 or become a full Houston Heat Dragon Boat Club member (benefits include unlimited water practices, equipment discounts, and much more).

We also meet for land practices twice a week.  Land practices involve endurance and strength training exercises, such as running or swimming.  There is no charge for land practices - just register online!

It's so easy to participate in one of Houston's hottest and fastest growing sports - what are you waiting for?
