Manta Rays (U18 Team)

About Manta Rays

The Manta Rays are the U18 paddling team of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, offering young athletes an exciting and supportive environment to develop their skills on the water.

Open to youth aged 12 to 18, the Manta Rays programme introduces paddlers to both dragon boat racing and outrigger canoe, with regular training sessions and opportunities to compete in local races across Hong Kong. Whether new to paddling or looking to advance their performance, members are guided by experienced coaches who focus on building strong foundations and improving technique. 

Through structured training, paddlers: 

  • Develop strength, endurance, and paddling techniques 
  • Build water confidence and safety awareness
  • Learn the value of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship 
  • Gain experience in competitive racing 

The Manta Rays are more than just a team - they are a community. Young athletes form lasting friendships, support one another's growth, and take pride in representing the Club at regattas and competitions. 

With a balance of fun, challenge, and achievement, the programme nurtures both individual progress and collective success, helping youth grow into confident and capable paddlers both on and off the water.
