AZDBA membership gives you the opportunity to paddle with as many teams as you want, as often as you want, as long as there’s a spot in the boat – even if you haven’t designated that team as “your team”.  This is a great way to get to know other members of the association, engage with various team coaches, and ultimately choose the right team(s) for you.
