SACA Golden Dragons | Dragon Boat Racing

Our Mission

The mission of the Suncoast Asian Cultural Association (SACA) is to promote community team spirit, sportsmanship and inclusion through the sport of dragon boating and cultural events. SACA also promotes cultural awareness through our multicultural and diverse membership, and gives back to the community by assisting other local non-profit organizations through volunteerism and donations.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, safety precautions have been updated to limit the spread of the virus among our teammates and guests. We will continue to follow the CDC and City of Tampa guidelines.
All paddlers, drummers, and steers must:

1. Stay home if sick.
2. Complete health questionnaire within one hour of arrival to the boathouse.
3. All non-vaccinated members and guests must wear a mask when unable to maintain six feet of distance from others including, but not limited to, when on the dock and in a dragon boat. Masks should cover your nose and mouth.
4. The City requires everyone, regardless of vaccination status, to wear a mask when in the boathouse.
5. Clean boats and shared equipment after use.

Thanks!
