The PDBA Youth team is currently not active but we have paddlers under 18 who train with us and race with us. We have been able to have a number of these paddlers make it on to the National Teams in the U16 and U18 categories. Youth paddlers are eligible for all of the sessions but will require proctored instruction and verification of skill before being allowed to use the team Outriggers. Some of your former youth are now top National Team paddlers and many time World Champions.
The "Yutes" are the Youth division on the Philadelphia Dragon Boat Association. The team is currently recruiting members from ages 12 through 18. Many of the team members have participated in festivals and regattas both locally and abroad as members of Team USA!
