Goalkeeping

Goalkeeping is a specialized position in soccer responsible for preventing the opposing team from scoring by guarding the goal. The goalkeeper uses hands and arms to catch, block, or deflect shots on target, while also positioning themselves strategically to anticipate the opponent's moves. They must remain alert, quick reflexes, and have good decision-making to effectively organize the defense and respond to various plays. Goalkeepers also play a crucial role in communicating with teammates and starting attacks with accurate throws or kicks. Their primary goal is to protect their net and ensure the team’s success through focused vigilance and skillful handling of offensive threats.
