KAP7 and TURBO Extend Partnership with Michigan Water Polo Association Through 2031

February 23, 2026— KAP7 International is proud to announce a five year extension of its partnership with the Michigan Water Polo Association, continuing as the Official Water Polo Ball of the MWPA and now expanding TURBO as the Official Suit of the MWPA.

The new agreement runs through February 1, 2031 and reinforces a strong and growing relationship focused on elevating the level of play and supporting athletes, coaches, and programs throughout Michigan.

“We are extremely pleased with the relationship we have built with MWPA.” said Bradley Schumacher, Co-founder and President of KAP7 International. “Extending for another five years allows us to continue investing in Michigan water polo and supporting the growth of the game.”

Official Ball of the MWPA

As part of the extension, the MWPA will continue to compete with the KAP7 105 HydroGrip (Men) and KAP7 104 HydroGrip (Women), both compliant with NCAA, World Aquatics and NFHS specifications and stamped with the NFHS mark.

The HydroGrip Series is trusted nationwide at the amateur and elite levels. Designed with wider grip channels and precision buffing that creates raised sticky panels, the ball provides superior handling in the water. Constructed from high quality rubber, the HydroGrip is built for durability and consistent performance throughout the season.

TURBO Named Official Suit of the MWPA

In addition to the ball extension, TURBO has been named the Official Suit of the MWPA for the same five year term.

TURBO, the world’s leading water polo outfitter and exclusively distributed in the United States by KAP7, supplies custom suits, caps, and apparel to more than 1000 collegiate, high school, and club teams nationwide.

This expanded partnership ensures Michigan athletes not only compete with the highest quality game ball, but also represent their programs in world class custom suits and team apparel.

Supporting the Growth of the Game

Founded by two time Olympic Gold Medalist Bradley Schumacher and three time Olympian Wolf Wigo, KAP7 was created to design and build innovative, world class products for the water polo community.

Together with TURBO, KAP7 serves as a full service water polo company, supporting teams from youth and high school through collegiate and elite international competition.

The MWPA partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence, athlete development, and growing the sport across the Midwest.

KAP7 looks forward to another five years of championship moments, elite performance, and continued collaboration with the Michigan Water Polo Association.
