Welcome Coach Geoff Coventry to Capital REC’s.
This winter, Ottawa’s receivers have their own dedicated off-season program — Capital REC’s — designed to sharpen every aspect of the wide receiver position. Led by Coach Geoff Coventry, former CFL player, 2023 Ottawa City and OFSSAA Championship-winning Head Coach of St. Matthew Catholic High School, players will develop the skills, speed, and precision needed to dominate in 2026.
What makes this program unique? You’ll train alongside Capital QB’s quarterbacks.
That means live reps, real timing, and a chance to build chemistry with some of the top young passers in the region.
