Motley Crew


This is the name of our mixed gender composite teams at the Rusty Dragons.  Composite teams are teams formed temporarily for a single event, and may or may not have practices included.  As a result, anyone signing up for this team must have experience paddling with an existing team (their "home" team).  These teams are for paddlers who want some extra races in their season on top of those already part of their existing regular home team. They are open to anyone, not just Rusties (in fact, we encourage others to join us)!  You cannot join Motley Crew for an event if your home team is racing there.

2025 Feb 15 Update: Registration is opening soon for some of our MOtley Crew events.   Check the list of events and their status regularly for updates.  The sooner you register, the sooner you'll get more information and get connected to the event's WhatsApp group.
