I've been Coaching a long time and have seen a few broken fingers over that time. My suggestion is to buy "Finger Save" gloves as you may just get that one hard shot that catches you off guard. That being said, I have had a few Keepers say they just don't like the rigidity of Finger Save gloves and opted for standard gloves. If your budget allows, buy two pairs (You should anyways; for practice and game) and buy one of each and see how you like them in practice. Give yourself about 5-6 practices before you make your decision as they tend to be stiff at first.
when the ball goes out and the goalie kicks it its called a goal kick. When the goalie catches it and kicks it its called a punt.
after they save the ball it is called goalies ball so he/she puts it on the ground and is meant to strike it at one of its team players or boot it towards the very end of the field where the opposite goalie is
There is only one extra requirement for a goal keeper's equipment. One player must be the designated goal keeper and they must wear a different color than either team or the opposing goal keeper. There are no requirements in the laws for gloves or long sleeves.
maybe goalie, just because you don't have to run a whole lot
You can either try and go to the player and kick the ball away or tackle, or stand your ground and take your chances in trying to save the shot.
a butterfly goalie is a goalie that likes to go down into a butterfly (AKA full V) save move to stop the puck.
If the goalie makes a kick save or toe save and the puck stays active, it is not considered possession and play continues. If the goalie makes a secure glove save or covers up the puck it is considered possession, resulting in a stoppage of play where the penalty is then assessed.
yea as long the ball doesn't pass the goalie everything is fine :]
A save, rebound or deflection. Trust me I am a goalie! Em 27
For save percentage, you divide the number of saves over the number of shots on goal.
yes the goalie can do that but i don't think the goalie would want to kick the puck because it might result in a goal.Also the goalie can save the puck with any part of his body.
