Welcome to FFB Dragon Boat Club
It's never too late to start something new. Join Sydney's friendliest dragon boat club right here in Lilyfield. We're a passionate crew of paddlers who know that teamwork makes the dream work—on and off the water. Whether you’re looking to get fit, compete for medals, or make a new group of friends, we have a paddle ready for you.
Choose how involved you want to be.
FFB is a community club with a great range of opportunities to get fit, compete, socialise and volunteer. You choose.
Training
Get fit on the water, build core and upper body strength and develop aerobic stamina.
Technique and timing are key to a cohesive team. Training sessions are run regularly, up to three times a week during peak season.
Our Coaches make training both fun and beneficial.
Our goal is to create the best possible team we can to compete in regattas at the local, state and national levels.
Come and watch a session from the Bay Run on Saturday morning
Racing
FFB has been successful at Regional, State and National level
Several of our members have represented Australia at World Title Championships.
Our teamwork and dedication have been a catalyst for this success.
The whole club contributes to our success, including our members who only train for fun and fitness. Without their support to get on the water and train, we would not be the team we are.

Recent events included Trivia Night, Gin Tasting, Lawn Bowls, and Pickleball.
We also have our spectacular End of Season and Christmas parties.
Volunteering
FFB is an active part of the local community and there are always opportunities to get involved and give something back:
Help the club operate for the benefit of the members
Help ensure local regattas run smoothly by volunteering at the state and national level
Volunteer for large local events e.g. City2Surf, Sydney Half Marathon
Volunteering is a great way to build real world skills, raise funds for the club and spend time with some great people.
