Renegades

Renegades isn't just another water polo club – we're a movement.
 

Founded by Nicola Plasket (SA Women's Coach with a psychology background who knows the mental game as well as the physical one), Renegades was born from a simple idea: water polo in Cape Town could be different, bolder, and a whole lot more exciting.
 

When we teamed up with Murray Southgate – the coach who transformed St. Cyprian's School from 50 players in the bottom division to over 200 athletes competing at the highest levels – we knew we were onto something special. Between Nicola's elite performance coaching and Murray's proven talent for building programs from the ground up, we've created a coaching dream team that balances competitive edge with a genuine passion for player development.
 

Our philosophy? Water polo should be challenging, transformative, and ridiculously fun.

We work with athletes from splashing U10 beginners to high school phenoms eyeing international tours. What makes us different isn't just our coaching credentials (though they're pretty impressive). It's our approach. We mix intensive conditioning with skill development, and mindset training with technical mastery. Our senior club practices feature guest appearances from SA national players – because learning from the best is how you become the best.
 

We're building more than just water polo players here. We're cultivating a community of athletes who think differently, train harder, and aren't afraid to make waves. Our academy spans age groups from U10 to U19, with specialized training that grows more intensive as players advance. For our senior high schoolers who are ready to push themselves further, our Monday and Wednesday evening sessions offer an extra challenge and a glimpse into elite-level play.
 

So whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your game to international standards, there's a place for you in our pool. We welcome you to Renegades – where the conventional gets left in the shallow end, and the extraordinary happens in the deep.
