COVID-19

Following state and federal guidelines, Alameda DragonFlyers are complying with suspension of races and practices due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to monitor recommendations from the State of California, the California Dragon Boat Association and the Pacific Dragon Boat Association and will resume our race and practice schedule when safe.

Welcome to the

Alameda DragonFlyers Dragon Boat Racing Team
Join a Free Practice!

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 on the first, third and fourth Saturdays of the month at 10:30 at our Alameda dock. Those interested in checking us out should click the “Join a Free Practice” box and sign up. Our recruitment program is always active!
