Join a Team!

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.
All of our teams welcome new members and will help you to be the best paddler you can be. Each team is unique in leadership, competitiveness, and community.
Discover which team is right for you! See below for our Youth, College Student, Adult Competitive, Adult Leisure, and Adaptive and Veteran teams!
