Get your team race ready with the Community DB Steering & Drumming Clinics. Learn the basic techniques and race strategies from experienced coaches. The clinics are early in the season to give team members time to practice with your team before the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. All clinics take place at the Rideau Canoe Club.

The steering clinics will be done in dragon boats. The drumming clinic will be done on land and will provide you with the necessary techniques to practice with your team.

Paddlers can also get some extra time on the water by registering to paddle in the boat to help steers people and drummers learn with a full and powerful boat!
