Welcome to Pershore Phoenix Dragon Boat team website.

Pershore Phoenix are affiliated with the British Dragon Boat Racing Association (BDA). We take part in the National League races at various locations across the country and also organise our Charity Dragon Boat Race Day.

Our paddlers come from various locations across the Midlands and South West. We train every Sunday even during the winter, meeting at Pershore Football Club on the River Avon in Pershore, Worcestershire. We meet in the carpark at 10:00am and are normally off the river by noon. Training is followed by a drink and maybe a bite to eat in the Football Club.

From the start of British Summer Time we also train on a weekday evening, currently Wednesdays, meeting at 6:30pm. The mood is very informal and newcomers are always made to feel welcome, regardless of ability. At present we have a crew of all ages and build, both male and female. Dragon Boating is a fantastic way of keeping fit, and because it's the technique that's important it means you can join in whatever your fitness level.

If you are new to the sport, or are looking for a club you will also find details on how to join Pershore Phoenix and sponsorship information.

Pershore Phoenix also enjoy organising social gatherings, including meals and nights out. There are currently two Social Secretaries on the comittee so there is always an event being planned. We also organise more physically demanding trips including white water rafting, paintballing, and walking in the Lake District. Many of the team also camp or stay in local hotels the night before a race, enabling the local nightlife to be sampled. Not only is Dragon Boating good for fitness, it's great for the social life too!

If you are involved in a charity Dragon Boat race and would like to gain an advantage over other competitors, we can give you an hour's training session before your race for only £50.00 per team, which includes all equipment & coaches. Previously we trained the Webbs of Wychbold Garden Centre team for the Greenfingers charity event. The training sessions obviously helped because the team won the event!
