Fun - Fitness - Friendship
ADF offers recreational and competitive racing, fitness and social opportunities to anyone who is looking to join an active, well organized East Bay team. Dragon boat teams have been racing in the San Francisco Bay Area for more than 20 years – and Alameda DragonFlyers have been
there right from the beginning!
Our team is diverse in age, gender, paddling experience and ability. ADF competes in local races and also some out of town. Our program features coaching, training and mentoring. We believe in a team culture of inclusion, unity, fitness and camaraderie and we seek to promote and further the sport of dragon boat racing.
We have an excellent central East Bay location and practice on the sometimes challenging – but mostly calm – waters of the Oakland/Alameda Estuary.
We race in 250 meter sprints, 500 meter regattas and even 1000 meter endurance races. The race season runs from March to November, and our practice schedule is all year long.
Visitors are welcomed approximately once a month via our Meetup group. Those interested in checking us out should click the “Join a Free Practice” box and sign up. Our recruitment program is always active!
