Only a goalie can appreciate what a goalie goes through.
​
– Jacques Plante

WHAT WE DO
Cage Cap's area of instruction is singular: the development and training of the water polo goalkeeper.
We train goalkeepers to have the confidence, creativity and fundamental skills necessary to make a game-winning save.
But, we place equal emphasis on cultivating a goalkeeper’s toughness, grit and character for when she or he misses that save.
​
Simply stated, we strive to establish a strong body, strong mind and strong voice for each of our goalkeepers.

WHAT WE CULTIVATE
We promote a unique environment at Cage Cap from day one.
Cage Cap trains warriors not merely winners. Learn more here.
