DESCRIPTION FOR DRAGONSTART:
Purpose - DragonStart is the nationally endorsed single-session introductory experience for Dragon Boat in Australia. Its purpose is to provide a low-commitment, first-exposure to Dragon Boat.
Eligibility - DragonStart is strictly limited to individuals who are new to Dragon Boat, and have not previously held membership with a Dragon Boat Club in Australia. An individual may only access DragonStart once nationally. DragonStart must not be used as a casual participation product, as a repeat option, for returning or lapsed members or to avoid DragonPass registration.
Duration and Scope - DragonStart provides access to one (1) supervised session, orientation and introductory instruction, and participation under direct supervision. DragonStart does not provide ongoing training access, regatta eligibility, membership privileges, or access beyond the single session. If a participant wishes to continue after their session, they must register for a DragonPass or a full membership.
