Leatherneck Warriors
The Leatherneck Warriors
The Leatherneck Warriors are a team of neighbors who come together to train, to compete, to support each other and to give back to our community. The Leatherneck Warriors Team represents over 60 Villager-athletes age 53 to 87.
There are few things better than starting the day on the water surrounded by friends paddling in sync. We paddle together to build our bodies, strengthen our mental toughness and prepare to win races.
We welcome experienced paddlers and “newbies” to join the team. Our experienced team members provide basic training and help bring out the best in every athlete. We welcome all Villagers to our family- a family that comes from the northernmost to the southermost parts of the Villages.
We are a competitive team, and we love to race other teams. We hold practice and training events 6 days per week to give scheduling flexibility to team members. We hold practices as far north as Lake Miona and as far south as Eastport to accommodate all Villager residents. Serious paddlers often carpool with other teammates to attend practices that are 30 minutes away (yes the Villages is THAT big!) Come see what dragonboating is all about with the Leatherneck Warriors.
Ooh-rah!”
