Houston Heat 2018 Dragon Boat Youth Program
Attention ALL youths ages 14 – 17!
Houston Heat Dragon Boat Club is holding a free paddling clinic on Saturday, August 4th at Clear Lake Park, 5001 NASA Rd, Pasadena TX 77586. Meet and register promptly at 8:30 am and spend one hour on the water paddling with other friends, family or teammates around the same age.
Houston Heat is an established year-round dragon boat club and has experienced coaches to train and steer you through an exciting, fun filled session. Paddles and personal flotation devices are supplied, but bring sunblock and plenty of fluids. Dress accordingly for a water sport. Come learn firsthand the ultimate team building sport, where every seat plays an important role in which boat gets to the finish line first.
This youth clinic will be held rain or shine, but check our website (www.houstonheat.org) for announcements if adverse weather conditions are forecast for that day. Spacing is limited so please sign up early. Have one of your parents or legal guardian register your name below if you would like to participate in one of the most popular water sports in Texas and across the country.
REGISTER YOUR YOUTH PADDLERS: Parents or Legal Guardians should register their youth’s information here: https://goo.gl/forms/YO1iKkKL4U4Ejf7f2. Please make an entry for each youth you are bringing.
Directions: A detailed map where parents and youth paddlers should meet can be downloaded HERE.
Houston Heat members, Experience paddlers, and Adult Volunteers: please register your name below. We will meet at the launch boat ramp at 8:00 AM and paddle the boats to Mud Lake.
Practice Policy:
- Bring sunblock and plenty of fluids such as water or a sports drink. However, please do not leave your bottles in the boat, on the dock or in the parking lot for others to clean up.
- Volunteers and able youths: Help with loading the boats before and after practice is a GROUP effort. The process is faster and safer when everyone lends a hand.
- If you cannot attend practice, please send an email to houstonheatdragonboat@gmail.com so that your name can be removed from the sign-up list. Space is limited so removing your name allows someone else to take your spot.
- Coaches may cancel a practice if weather conditions become risky for paddlers. Rain is not a reason to cancel practice, but heavy lightning is. We will try to contact everyone about cancellations, but it’s ultimately the paddler’s responsibility to check on the status of practices.
