The Dragon Spirit

At the simplest level, we're here to have fun and ensure everyone else can have fun too. 

• Play the game for the game's sake; be modest in victory and generous in defeat.
• The most important thing in dragon boating is not win, but to take part, just as in life - it is not the triumph but the struggle.  
• Be true to your fellow paddler. 
• Paddle not for yourself but for your team.
• Work hard. Be strong. Expect no reward and reward will come.

Fair Play

As an organised sport, we've got robust policies to support fair play and these resources help us make sure it is clear how we want Dragon Boating to be conducted at the highest standards of Fair Play.

Code of Conduct and Integrity

We have a National Code of Conduct which is supported by the National Integrity Framework developed by Sports Integrity Australia.

Diversity and Inclusion

Ensuring that everyone can have fun is supported by our Inclusion and Access Plan a part of our Inclusion Framework, and we've got extensive resources that we're using to keep bringing inclusion to life.
