Philadelphia Dragon Boat Association

Website:
http://www.phillydragonboat.com/ The Philadelphia Dragon Boat Association (PDBA) not only has the oldest dragon boat team in the United States, it is also the most decorated team. This organization trains members to become members of the National Team.
According to Culturetrips.com, Dragon Boat racing originated from China during the Warring States Period first as a folk ritual. Since then, Dragon Boat racing has developed into a competitive sport across the world. Every summer, Hong Kong hosts a festival inviting athletes from around the world to compete.
