As part of the deal, USA Water Polo players, including the women's team that defeated Spain in the final to clinch gold at London 2012, will actively promote healthy living in collaboration with the company, as well as Jamba's new caffeinated energy drink.

Promotions for the California-based company will also feature at USA Water Polo events, and athletes will make appearances at Jamba stores, fitness clinics and engage in social media activities.

Last year, the two parties worked in collaboration to provide fitness clinics for aspiring young athletes in Los Angeles, in addition to the previous agreement they held in 2011.

The USA women's water polo team that won gold at London 2012 will be part of promotional activities for Jamba Juice following the new agreement


"Our organisation and our athletes are great fans of Jamba products and their efforts to promote healthy living," said Jennifer Rottenberg, chief marketing officer at USA Water Polo.

"The Jamba brand and what it stands for makes their products a natural fit for athletes and sports organisations like ours."

Julie Washington, Jamba senior vice president chief brand officer, added: "At Jamba, we focus on encouraging good nutritional habits and promoting physical fitness, so USA Water Polo's commitment to excellence and maintaining fitness perfectly complements our brand message."
