Why does the goalie kick in the ball?

Answer 1

When the ball goes out of bounds off the other team, this is called a "Goal Kick" this is when you put the ball on the inside box line, and kick it. Kindof like a free kick. The goalie can kick the ball, but typically, any player on the kicking team can kick it.

Answer 2

Goalkeepers in soccer are required to wear a differently-colored jersey by the Laws of the Game. This is in order to distinguish them from outfield players who cannot use their hands to play the ball. Additionally, many goalkeepers wear protective clothing, such as sweatpants and gloves, to protect them while performing the more-dangerous GK moves.

Answer 3

To block the ball with any part of their body, including hands, to stop it from going into the goal.

Answer 4

Goal keepers in soccer are as or more important than the other players on the field. Without goalies, soccer would be like Golf. Boring, and pointless.
