What is a great way to get fit after a long festive season and do it while meeting other HKUST Alumni? Dragon Boat of course!

HKUST MBA Alumni Association (MBAAA) Dragons have kicked off its recruitment for the 2018 season. The team would be competing in up to 3 races (including Tuen Ng Festival) with training sessions starting in late February/early-March. The Dragons have been paddling for nearly 15 years and with a team motto of "Forty Hands, One Heart". They look forward to having a fun and successful season in 2018. 

The first practice will be in late February/early-March at either Stanley Main Beach or Tseung Kwan O from 09:00 - 11:00 (time to be confirmed - subject to the availability of the venues). There will be 14 weeks of practice with a professional coach and an experienced captain/coaching team. The Dragons will compete in a minimum of three races, the largest of which being the Stanley International Dragon Boat Race on the Tuen Ng Festival (June 18). The team will also lead boot camps to further enhance the physical fitness of the members in order to have strong performance on the water. All members will receive a racing jersey.

The team is open to MBA Alumni, MBA Students, Faculty, other HKUST Alumni and guests of alumni. A team membership fee of HKD2,200 for HKUST Alumni/Students/Faculty and HKD2,300 for guests will be collected in order to finance the team's training, race entry fees, and team jerseys.
