Learn from some of the country's leading paddlers in this clinic coached by Kamini Jain, two-time Olympian and coach of the FCRCC dragon boat teams, with coaching assistance from FCRCC team members.  Improve your dragon boat skills through outside coaching and by paddling with some of FCRCC’s best dragon boat paddlers.  In this unique clinic format, two or more paddler-coaches will be in each dragon boat providing an example and hands-on coaching to participants.  
 
This dragon boat clinic is suitable for paddlers and coaches.  The clinic will help paddlers to advance their paddling technique to the next level while coaches will learn the FCRCC paddling technique and mental training to motivate their dragon boat team. 

The clinic will be 3 hours long (from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM) and limited to 18 participants.  The cost of the clinic is $65.  We reserve the right to cancel the clinic 2 weeks beforehand, with full refund to all registered participants.  Participants may cancel their registration from the clinic with 80% refund if they cancel 4 weeks in advance, 50% refund if they cancel 2 weeks in advance and no refund if they cancel less than 2 weeks before the clinic.

The clinic includes the following sessions:
 
Basic Technique Overview (Kamini Jain)
In this classroom session, the mechanics of dragon boat technique will be discussed.   Kamini will explain the stroke strived for in the FCRCC High Performance Dragon Boat Program, why she has chosen to emphasize certain movements over others and some of the challenges the commitment to this style creates.
 
Water Session (Kamini Jain and FCRCC High Performance Team)
In this on-water session, participants will have an opportunity to practice their classroom technique while paddling with some of FCRCC’s best dragon boat paddlers.  The session will be coached by Kamini Jain who, along with the other FCRCC paddlers, will provide direct feedback on each participant’s technique.  Each participant will also be videotaped for the subsequent video analysis session.
 
Video Analysis (Kamini Jain and FCRCC High Performance Team)
In these small group sessions, the coach will review and analyze the videotape of each paddler from the water session to provide constructive feedback.  Kamini or one of the FCRCC paddlers will analyze each part of your stroke thoroughly, providing suggestions on what you are doing well, what could be improved and how you can make those improvements.
