We're Recruiting!

The OWLS dragon boat team, the Dragonflies, is recruiting new paddlers! We are looking for female athletes of all fitness levels who enjoy a good workout outdoors and want to try out paddling with our group of very friendly but very fierce water warriors. Dragon boating is a great team sport that builds endurance, strength, and wonderful friendships.

It doesn’t matter whether you are an experienced paddler or brand new to the sport: come check us out! The 2019 season is just about to begin on January 26 and we are looking forward to a few months of relaxed paddling before the race season starts. Come explore your potential in this environmentally friendly competitive water sport and paddle with the team! No obligation; no commitment. Equipment provided. We are currently practicing Tuesdays from 6:30-7:30 pm and Saturdays from 8:30-10:00 am - we have plenty of spots available for new paddlers!

Any non-woman or non-paddler interested in being part of the team?!? We are also currently looking for new tillers (the person who steers the boat)!  And tillers don't have to be a lawyer or in a legal-related field. Let us know if you, or someone you know, is interested in training to be our tiller!

The Dragonflies are hosting two informational meetings for those of you who want to find out more about paddling or tilling:

• Thursday, January 24, 2019 from noon to 1:00 pm at Tomasi Salyer Martin, 121 SW Morrison St., Suite 1850, Portland, Oregon 97204.
• Monday, January 28, 2019 from 5:30-7:00 pm at the Yardhouse, 888 SW 5th Ave #2004, Portland, OR 97204.

RSVP for the informational meeting to either Eleanor DuBay or Lindsey Craven.

If you would like more information about the Dragonflies or would like to come out for a practice, but are unable to attend one of the information sessions, please contact us.
