Dragon Boat USA National Team Trials

USA Canoe / Kayak would like to congratulate each participant of this year's USA Canoe/Kayak National Team Trials. All your hard work is evident and you should be proud. Moving toward the international competition season, we would like to offer an additional opportunity to race with another of USA Canoe/Kayak's US National Teams. You are being offered the opportunity to become a member of the US National Dragon Boat Junior, Senior and Master's Team which will be competing at the ICF World Championships this coming August 27 - 29, in Szeged, Hungary. The transition to Dragon Boat is relatively easy for paddlers with national-level racing experience.

Dragon Boat USA is confident that those who qualify for Team USA's Senior Team will have their expenses subsidized for the travel to and from Szeged, Hungary.

Trials will include an in depth analysis of each athlete using the Merlin Data Acquisition Paddle. This paddle yields a computerized interpretation of each athlete's strength and endurance to their body weight and can quantitatively assess the talent through the water. The feedback about the Merlin's capabilities, from both coaches and athletes, has been tremendous.

If you are interested in being part of these trials and this unique opportunity, please contact Dragon Boat USA's Coaching and Training Chairman, Mike Blundetto at 610-842-4075 or email him at mblundetto@aol.com.
