Students, alumni and parents.. Philadelphia Flying Phoenix Women's DB Team (PFP) loves dragon boat paddling and wants to give back. We want our young women to come out and learn dragon boat racing. If you want to get back on the water, stay on the water, or learn how to paddle come join us this summer. If you know of any girls in the Philly area, ages 12-17, who would be interested in learning how to dragon boat paddle, and be around great women role models, please help us spread the word. Thank you.

Seasons is coming soon... here is a flash back to last year...
