The United States Dragon Boat Federation (USDBF) is the Governing Body for Dragon Boat Sport in the United States. Periodically the USDBF offers a Level 1 Officials Training Course to begin the training of new officials. This training seminar is the first phase for obtaining your USDBF Race Official Certificate (ROC).

The USDBF is excited to announce that the next training session will be administered virtually via ZOOM Meetings.

This course covers: race organization, program, racing rules and protocol, and the roles and responsibilities of dragon boat officials.

After you have completed this course, you are then required to complete a minimum of two full days of hands-on officiating experience at each station in order to be considered for Level 1 National Certification.
