Welcome to the Black Dragons Dragon Boat Club official website.

Black Dragons is a fun, exciting and innovative club with great team spirit, strong friendships and camaraderie.

Established in 2003, the club was formed by a number of long term paddlers who used their experience to take dragon boating in a new direction. Black Dragons is one of the latest clubs to join and compete in South Australia’s professional dragon boat competition.

Since joining the competition, the club has grown from strength to strength, continuing to improve through training hard and clever race strategies.

The recent 2008 - 2009 season was a success for Black Dragons, taking out four State titles, and seven silver and four bronze medals against some fierce and dogged competition. Many races came down to the wire, making for an exciting and exhilarating battle to determine the States best and cap off an extremely memorable year.

Black Dragons will continue to build on its success, striving for and achieving more each season to gain the competitive edge.

The club works under the creed of ‘Play hard, Paddle harder’, with an emphasis on training hard but keeping it interesting and above all, enjoyable. Therefore, in addition to solid training and competitive racing, Black Dragons are also committed to building strong friendships and creating a great team spirit and club atmosphere through the many social and celebratory events held throughout the year. Some of these special moments are highlighted in the Social events and photos page.

With dragon boat racing being one of the fastest growing sports in the world, Black Dragons provides a fantastic opportunity to compete at the highest level against some of the best national and international teams and the opportunity for travel to world staged events.
