Dear All,
As word has already got around, the national team will be carrying out our largest recruitment thus far for the women team to rope in the best of Singapore Dragonboat in our bid to make the Asian Games 2010, to be held in Guangzhou, China.
The Asian Games in itself holds a long history. However, this will be the inaugural inclusion of Dragonboat to the games, thus making our impending success part of history!
As a lead-up to the Games, the team will be looking to participate in various overseas races to push ourselves further.
Many of you might have your reservations as many of our teammates had. However, we would like to reassure you that joining the National Team will not equate to forsaking your current commitments. Understanding that we all have our individual pursuits outside of Dragonboat, we have a flexible system of training based largely on trust and discipline. In addition, you will still be able to paddle for your school teams as the national team will not be competing in the same categories.
Moreover, you would be able to learn much and take it back to your schools for a value-added experience!
The trial details are as follows:
12th September LAND Trial
