USA Canoe and Kayak (USACK)
USA Canoe and Kayak (USACK) was established to recruit, train and support athletes to compete in the Olympic Games in flatwater sprint and whitewater slalom canoe/kayak racing. USACK is now the National Governing Body for all canoe/kayak racing in the United States.
USACK provides a wide array of programs and services for athletes, coaches, officials and event organizers. Additionally USACK produces 10-15 major national and international events annually; provides information and services and works with the national media to promote the sport, athletes, events and programs; develops and maintains relationships with corporate partners and works closely with the U.S. Olympic Committee to maximize funding and support for USACK programs.
Recently moved and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, USACK maintains a professional staff and utilizes the services of hundreds of volunteers across the country to promote Olympic canoeing and kayaking.
