SCDA Mavericks

At Sunshine Coast Dragons Abreast we’re more than just a dragon boat club—we’re a community. We originally started as a club to support breast cancer survivors, and that is still a big part of who we are, but over time we’ve grown and now welcome paddlers of all backgrounds. It doesn’t matter if you’re just looking for social paddling or want to push yourself to compete—there’s a place for you here! More than anything, you’ll find friendship, strength, and a space to really thrive with like-minded people. We call ourselves SCDA Mavericks

We believe that exercise is medicine. Paddling is particularly good for developing strength, endurance, co-ordination and is a great core-specific workout. Dragon Boating is a team sport, and to have any hope of making the boat go forward, you must work together. The loyalty and team spirit you find while paddling is something you won’t find anywhere else. Over time, you’ll notice that the people you paddle with will become family.

At SCDA Mavericks, we’re all about being a welcoming, fun, and supportive dragon boat club where everyone can have a go and feel good—both in body and mind. With the spirit of a dragon, we grow together, enjoy the paddle, and support our members and the wider community, all while having a laugh along the way.
