Corporate Team Building. Exercise. Intense. Fun.
The 2,000 year old sport of Dragon Boat paddling is both an entry level activity and high-performance racing. That means literally almost anyone can do it!
We offer people of most ages an opportunity to aspire to a higher level of competitiveness and teamwork unlike most other paddle sports, or any sport for that matter. A team, working hard, in harmony, as one, sharing a goal.
LCKC offers a range of opportunities for both serious and recreational dragon boat paddlers. Dragon boats accommodate 10 or 20 paddlers, a drummer to keep beat, and a trained steersman. Race distances can range from 200 meters to several kilometers.
Recreational and Team Building
LCKC hosts racing events each year where teams of paddlers from businesses and organizations battle it out for top honors. For the past 6 years, LCKC and Gainesville Hall County Dragon Boat Challenge have supported the Special Olympics of Hall County. While some teams train and compete together regularly, most teams are recreational, and LCKC provides a couple of training opportunities before each event.
Looking for an exciting team building exercise for your organization or business? Look no further! LCKC can tailor a corporate team building event to suit your needs. Once your team is on the water, they will all be working together in unison, with the same goal! Please contact us so that we may put together a special program for you. Your team is guaranteed not to forget this event!

LCKC Dragon Boat Team
LCKC also offers a Dragon Boat club membership for those who are interested in a longer-term training program. LCKC is a feeder program of the United States National Dragon Boat Team. In fact, many LCKC paddlers have competed in the World Dragon Boat Championships – including eleven in 2014 alone. The club participates in regional regattas with an eye toward international events and a goal of having as many as possible compete with Team USA at the next World Championships.
Athletes can sign up through a Dragon Boat Membership which includes two practices per week and the opportunity to race in an LCKC boat at the Gainesville-Hall Dragon Boat Challenge and the Atlanta Hong Kong Dragon Boat Festival. Practices are held March 1st to October 31st, 2017, from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and 10:30 a.m. – noon on Saturdays. Membership for the team is only $175.
