Support My Journey to Team USA – and Beyond

I’ve been selected to participate in USA Water Polo’s Olympic Development Program (ODP) and the 2026 National Team Selection Camp (NTSC). This opportunity brings me closer to my goal of competing at the highest level—and representing Team USA.

My Journey in Water Polo
 

Hi everyone,
My name is Mason Wakefield, and I’m excited to share a big moment in my water polo career. I’ve been playing for Puget Sound Polo since I was 9 years old, and over the years my passion and dedication to the sport have continued to grow bigger.

Water polo has become a major part of my life. Through the sport, I’ve learned discipline, teamwork, and how to push myself to the limit and improve. I’ve built incredible friendships along the way and grown both in and out of the water. I’m excited to continue that journey and see how far I can take it.

I’m super excited to share that I’ve been selected to attend the National Team Selection Camp (NTSC) through the Olympic Development Program (ODP)! This program helps develop athletes and gives us the opportunity to learn, grow, and compete at a higher level. Being selected for NTSC is an incredible opportunity for me to continue improving and compete with some of the top players in the country.

What Drives Me
What I love most about water polo is the challenge and how much it has taught me to push myself. It pushes me to be my best every single day while also teaching me how to be a stronger, more supportive teammate.

How You Can Help
As exciting as this opportunity is, there are costs associated with attending the camp, including travel and fees. I’m raising support to help make this possible—not just for me, but to continue growing within the sport and pursuing future opportunities. Any donation, big or small, truly means a lot and directly helps me take this next step in my water polo journey.

What’s Ahead
This page will follow me throughout the 2026 ODP season, including NTSC and future Pipeline experiences. If I’m selected for additional training camps or international competitions, I’ll continue to share updates as I work toward the next level.

Be Part of My Journey
If you’d like to be part of my journey, I would truly appreciate your support. Every contribution—big or little—makes a difference. Thank you so much for your support and for being part of my journey and my team.
