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. 

​

WHO WE ARE

Cage Cap's director is Tommy Rea (pronounced "Ray").

Rea can be found in the water or on the pool deck working with goalkeepers and coaches from across the nation and at all levels of competition.
