Chinese Youth League (CYL) Dragon Boat Club

The Chinese Youth League of Australia Inc is a non-profit community organisation based in Sydney, Australia. One of its aims is to bring Chinese Culture to the wider Australian Community, and Dragon Boating is one activity which it organises to do this. Dragon Boating provides a unique sporting experience which has a cultural history going back 2000 years. It is a team sport that both men and women can participate in and compete literally side by side.

Our paddlers come from a wide range of backgrounds and age groups. We welcome people of all cultural backgrounds as long as you have a positive attitude and are keen to get out there and give it a go!
