Goalie Training.
Nothing Else.
Crease Coach is goalie-specific lacrosse training. No field player drills adapted for the cage. Every session is built around what goalies actually need: more reps, better mechanics, sharper footwork, and real confidence between the pipes.
From a goalie's first season to elite high school play, there is a clear path here.

Nick Washuta
Crease Coach Director • PLL Goalie, Utah Archers #18
Nick Washuta is a professional lacrosse goalie in the Premier Lacrosse League, currently with the Utah Archers (2021-present, #18). Before Utah, he played for the Denver Outlaws (2020, #18) after being drafted 11th overall in the 2020 MLL Draft, and started for four years at the University of Vermont (2016-2020, #18).
Nick is a back-to-back PLL Champion (2023, 2024) and one of the top goalies in the league, known for his quick reflexes and game intelligence. Before turning pro, he was an All-American at Vermont: a 2020 captain, 2019 team MVP, and the 2018 NCAA Division I statistical champion for save percentage, setting the UVM record for most wins in a single season by a goalie.
Off the field, Nick coaches at Torrey Pines and leads Crease Coach, where he builds well-rounded goalies through physical conditioning, mental resilience, and game intelligence - personalized coaching and game-like scenarios focused on quick reflexes, precise positioning, and effective communication. He has sent boys and girls goalies on to Division I lacrosse and everything in between. Whatever level your goalie is working toward, Nick has lived it.

Goalies Need Goalie Training
A goalie standing in a cage at a shooting clinic is not goalie development. Crease Coach sessions are built for the position from the first rep to the last.
More quality shots in one session than most goalies see in weeks of practice.
Mechanics, arc movement, tracking, clearing, and communication. Coached by people who played the position.
Training that meets your goalie where they are and shows them exactly what comes next.

What Parents And Players Say
“Crease Coach training sessions have helped improve my skills tremendously. In a typical session, we go over pretty much everything about the goalie position. From stick work and foot work all the way to the mental side. Washuta covers it all. What really makes this coaching so special is the level of lacrosse knowledge, IQ, and experience. He has given me countless tips that I have used and implemented into my game.”
Andrew Cook • Dartmouth • San Diego
“Sample testimonial. A real player quote goes here. Short, specific quotes about confidence and improvement work best.”
[Player name pending] • HS Goalie • Orange County
“Every Crease Coach event I've attended has been amazing. Always an electric environment coupled with some of the best goalie coaching you will find in the country. If you get the opportunity to attend a Crease Coach event whether it is a training day or combine or anything else I wouldn't hesitate to jump at it.”
