Dragon Boat at USC

USC's official dragon boat racing club. Anyone is welcome to join! Contact us at:
[email protected] The adrenaline levels are rising, blood pumping. Ready.

As the steersman pulls the boat into the starting gate, paddlers awaiting the starting signal psyche up and focus in. And just as soon as all the boats reach their starting positions the race official announces, "Paddlers! We have alignment. GO!" All the boats surge forward with each paddler stroking to the beat of the drum, the calls of the drummer, giving their everything until the tail crosses

the finish line. This is Dragon Boat. While seemingly graceful from the shoreline, dragon boat is a cardiovascular intensive sport engaging all major muscle groups of the body as well as the mind. At every practice paddlers improve their fitness and discipline as they endeavor to push their teammates and work together to paddle hard and to paddle as one. Unlike other paddling sports, dragon boaters sit two by two in either a 10 or 20 person boat, directed by commands from a drummer and guided to the finish line by a steersman. The sync required not only of those in front and behind you but also the bench partner that sits beside you creates a sense of camaraderie unmatched by many other team sports. Although it is deeply rooted in ancient Chinese history, 2000 years later dragon boat has now become one of the most popular paddling sports on both the US and international waterfronts. At the University of Southern California our organization is the official dragon boat racing club, and we compete in both collegiate and mixed divisions year round. If you are a student at USC and you are interested in joining our team this upcoming semester, please visit our website for recruitment details www.dragonboatsc.weebly.com or contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions about our program.
