These courses are the first courses in a new three level coaching certification program by DBC. Both are two-day courses. Level One is for those who coach community level teams, those that are seasonal and practice with a recreational level of commitment. A change from the previous similar course is that the course assignment will be completed in class. Level 1 (or DBC’s former course, Coaching Community Dragon Boat) is a prerequisite for Level Two. This course delves further in depth into training practices to bring a team to a competitive level.

Requirements for certification in these courses are:

  1. SafeSport course.  https://safesport.coach.ca/participants-training  It’s free and all online.

  2. First Aid including CPR and AED.  There are several providers that offer this.  You can take the 8-hour or 16-hour course.  Online courses are not accepted.

  3. Pleasure Craft Operators License. This is a 60% discount code: DRAGON60
