The All Sports Team Hannover is a dragon boat team of the Hannoverschen Kanuclub v. 1921 e.V. from Germany. The team has both a Mixed-Team (min. 8 paddling women) and an Open-Team (only men) both in Standard Boat and Small Boat, as well as a women small boat and master open small boat.

History

The team was founded in 2000 by Denis Starke during the dragon races in Hannover which takes place yearly on Whitsundays. The team's name is based upon the variety of sports players who have been the core of the team at the early beginning. The paddlers were chosen for the team Verein zur Förderung des Spitzensports (Supporters club of top sports). This organization supported top sportsmen and women in many different sport activities. To improve the relationship among themselves and to have fun together the club sent regularly a fun team to the Whitsunday dragon boat races in Hanover. After winning several times the fun team titles some sportsmen decided to do dragon boat racing seriously and to join the canoe club HKC. So initially were handball players, judo fighters, rugby players, water polo players, dancers, swimmers, dart players and also some paddlers in the boat of the All Sports Team. The ambition in combination with the sportive talent of the outsiders together with the know-how of the canoe top sports men were the basis for the ongoing success of the All Sports Team. The training course is the Maschsee, a lake in the middle of Hanover city.
