 * __ Goalkeeping __**

Goalkeepers are the last line of defense for teams, so, it is important to know how to keep the ball out of the goal:

Let's take a look at how to save penalty kicks:

__Right-Footed__


 * 1) Look at the run up, and notice the speed and distance of th run-up. If the distance is too long or too short, the striker nerves are getting to him.
 * 2) Look at the angle in which the stiker is turned. If you can directly see the striker's torso, he is probably kicking to your left. If you can't see the torso clearly, he probably is kicking to your right.
 * 3) Dive to one side a few milliseconds before the striker kicks.
 * 4) If you can't decide which way to dive, dive to your right
 * 5) If you are in a penalty shootout, make your hands in a fist and save the ball.
 * 6) If it is a penalty because a foul, Make your hands cup-shaped andsave the ball with the heel of your palms.

5 and 6 are for safety reasons, so you don't break a finger.

Left footed: is the exact opposite places as the right foot, (except for 5 and 6)

Gameplay goalkeeping;

REMEMBER: When a power shot comes at you that is fast, use a fist and save the ball.

One on One: If the attacker comes about 12-14 yards from the goal, come up on your still bending your knees to cut off the angle. Imagine it like this: Try to hit the ball with your torso from the side.

When the ball is on the right side of the field or penalty box, be on the right part of the goal box. If the ball is on the left, be in the left side of the goal box.

RULES:

You can**//__not__//** pick up back passes unless your teammate chests or heads the ball to you. If they pass the ball to you by foot, you cannot pick the ball up with your hands.

Good Goalkeeping comes from experience.
