Goalkeeping

                                      

Many say that the Goalkeeper is the most important position on the field. They are the last line of defence, and the first line of attack.

A goalkeeper can win a game with one brilliant save or become the villian with a mistimed dive.The nature of the position requires agility, speed, athleticism, confidence, bravery and good communication skills.
