The role of the goalie is to prevent the soccer ball from going inot the net and stoping the other team from getting a point The goalkeeper is the last line of defense for his team. He plays in front of the goal, and many game situations can end up in his hands (or not) quite literally. He is permitted by the laws of the game to use his hands and arms to play the ball (with a few exceptions), and because of that he can catch a ball to control it, punch it away or put a glove on it to deflect it just enough to cause it to go over the bar or wide of a post. The keeper is also uniquely positioned to see a lot of things about the flow of play and can provide a form of coaching or leadership from his defensive spot. A good keeper who is "plugged into" his team's style of play will do some directing of play and of players. Lastly, there are those very rare occasions when the goalkeeper will actually leave his spot and come out of the box to play up field when his team is desperate for a score in the final minutes.
The goal box on a soccer field is marked on the field of play by three lines. But why not go to the source for a picture and the dimensions? The world governing body of soccer is FIFA, and here is the address on their site for the Laws of the Game. Within this set of rules are diagrams and dimensions for the goal box. http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/affederation/federation/lotg2006_e_1581.pdf
I'm one of the best people to help answer that, since I've been a goalie for years. Goalies, as you probably know already, defend the goal. They are the only players that are allowed to block the ball with their hands. They must stay inside their penalty box. Here's a cool thing we can do: Goalies CAN step outside their box, but cannot touch the ball with their hands. They may kick the ball into the penalty box and then pick it up and throw/kick it back down the field. Hope this helps!
A goalie stops the ball from entering the net and has the option to use his/her hands.
To be a goalie in soccer you need to have 1. gloves 2. soccer equipment 3. good reflexes You basically need to stand in front of a goal in where people on the opposite team must score in.
The player in charge of making sure no goals get scored for the opposing team. They stand near the goal line. They are the only people on the field who get to use their hands.
You don't really need one unless you want to lose the game... The goalie or goalkeeper is the only person on the field who can use hands (in the 18 yard box).
