Road to Kazan 2015 - NZ Women's Water Polo World Champs

Our team is looking to raise funds to travel to the 16th FINA World Champs in Kazan, Russia 2015. The trip is going to be quite expensive for us as individuals as we receive no additional funding from the government or other organizations. With your help we could travel to World Champs and gain a great result.

Currently we are training hard leading up to World League in Auckland in April - we will be competing against USA, CHN, AUS, KAZ, JAP. These games will be a great lead up to the World Championships in Russia in July.

Our training program consists of both land and pool training. Intense leg sessions in the pool treading water with additional weight, hard swim sets - as well as endurance and weight sessions in the gym.

One of the main reasons why we want to travel to Russia and compete at World Champs is to maintain an international presence for New Zealand Water Polo. This will mean a lot in the future to young players aspiring to one day make the national team and travelling to competitions like this.

Our target amount to raise will cover our trip to Kazan and the journey leading up to that (including World League in Auckland in April, training prior to the competition)

This is just the first step in a bigger plan for NZL to be competitive with Australia when it comes to Olympic Qualifiers before Rio - and you could help us get there!

Get behind us and support our cause, we are very grateful for your generosity and passion to help us achieve our dream.
