Sweeps and Coaches

Training available!     

Our aim at the festival office is to assist every team in becoming self sufficent.  We are running training courses to help your team train up a coach and sweep.  We will buddy up trainee sweeps and coaches with the experienced sweeps and coaches so that they can learn the ropes.  Training manuals are available free of charge on request.  If you cannot find a trainee within your team then please let us know and we will assign you a sweep or coach from our pool for the season.

There are a number of experienced coaches and sweeps available if you have any questions, please email us at crew@dragonboat.org,nz and we will put them in contact with you.
