What Is Crease Coach

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 goalie in the Premier Lacrosse League, back-to-back PLL Champion with the Utah Archers (2023 and 2024) and one of the top goalies in the league. Drafted 11th overall in the 2020 MLL Draft, he broke in with the Denver Outlaws before joining the Archers, where he wears #18 in the crease.

Before turning pro, Nick was a four-year starter at the University of Vermont: an All-American, 2020 captain, 2019 Team MVP, and the 2018 NCAA Division I statistical champion for save percentage. He set 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 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.

Why Goalie-Specific

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.

High-Rep Sessions

More quality shots in one session than most goalies see in weeks of practice.

Position-Specific Coaching

Mechanics, arc movement, tracking, clearing, and communication. Coached by people who played the position.

A Clear Path

Training that meets your goalie where they are and shows them exactly what comes next.
