*2026 update!!*

THANK YOU to everyone who supported us during the 2025 season!!! Your support helped so much to offset all of the costs of being a self-funded team. The 2026 season has started and we will officially be attending the world championships in Duisburg, Germany this coming September!-- and we are doing another fundraising push to help get us there

About us:

We are a group of 7 women representing the USA as the Women's Kayak Polo National Team. We will be competing in the upcoming 2026 Kayak Polo World Championships that are taking place in Duisburg, Germany this coming September 13-20.

Kayak Polo (or Canoe Polo) is a young sport in the USA. It's an extremely challenging, exciting and fun game to play and watch. Part of the challenge for this sport in the US is the initial expense for training, gear and equipment, as well as transportation to play with other clubs (there are less than 10 clubs across the country). The US women's team is spread out throughout the country, and there are additional costs to train together enough to compete as a cohesive team in the upcoming international tournaments.

Funds will be distributed equally between all 7 players to help with training, coaching, team registration, airfare, accommodation and gear.

Team members are:

Heather Fenske

Al Kolenda

Madeline (Maddie) Lee

Myrna Lewis

Chloe Olson

Hannah Spellman

Tarika (Pin) Thienapirak

Coach:

Nick Porter

Our team is entirely self-funded and managed--any help and support you can give us will be greatly appreciated! Our goal is to have funds by September 1st, 2026
