Community Team Practices

Community teams are entitled to 2 practice sessions which are conducted out of Riverside Park in Hartford. To ensure you have a great time, all of your team members (including your drummer) should make every effort to attend these practices.

At each practice you will spend about an hour on the water, but you should plan on dedicating about 2 hours in total to each outing. You are going to be in a boat so yes, you will get wet, and you should dress accordingly. We recommend a change of clothes including dry shoes.

Our #1 goal is safety. Each paddler is required to wear a life jacket (PFD). All of our practice boats are accompanied by a safety launch boat. We have extensive safety procedures in place and we spend about 20 minutes prior to your fist practice briefing you on these procedures.
