Goalkeeping

Learnt at a club

Ready when: a coach is present.

Before you look for a club

What the coach teaches

The keeper's position and footwork, saving long-range shots, lunging and sliding out, covering the near post first; throws to start a fast attack; close-range saves and 7-metre throws.

At home, safe only

Keeper basics with a soft ball (b7) with a soft ball.

Ask the club

The protective kit, who coaches the goalkeepers, and whether shooters wait until the keeper is set.

What you can see from the side

A confident keeper who moves to the ball.

Self-check what the coach confirms

The coach marks saves in 5 of 10 shots at a fixed speed.

Stop and get a coach when

A ball strikes the face or a joint hurts.
