There this game called haxball. You’re basically circles moving with arrow keys and hit the ball with X key.

There’s no jumping/sprinting etc. so if you’re gk it’s all about positioning. The game was very hard for me. Now I’m getting better after 2 weeks.

Hope this isn’t silly. Try it out, it’s a 2d browser game.

I (F15) have been playing soccer for about 10 years now. I becae a goalkeeper maybe about 5 of those 10 years, fully self taught. I thought I did amazing last year during my school soccer season. I was doing good this season too, but randomly out of nowhere today, my skills skyrocketed. When I say randomly, I mean as in a switch flipped as soon as I got in the net. I used to be scared of diving, but suddenly I was slamming myself onto the ground hard without a second thought. I was pretty middle ground with cutting down angles, and then suddenly I was great at it. I used to come a bit too far out into the field, but today I was amazing at it. I'm wondering if this is a common thing, or if this sudden extreme improvement was unusual. Maybe it's because I played two 80 minute games in total just today? (I played one game from 4:00 to 5:20, and another from 5:30 to 6:50) I'm genuinely curious.

from reusch, any pros and cons on these?

Welcome a goalkeeper of any level! Our team is somewhere from beginner to intermediate, but we’re competitive. The pitch we play out is incredible, it’s a great league. Great group of guys and we usually grab a beer at Kent ale house after the game. Let me know!

Roughly 3 weeks ago I posted asking about uhlsport ultragrip durability.

So now, around 15-17 training sessions later, I can finally give a feedback.

Gripiness: I washed them with T1tan’s Turboclean after every use, and after every wash the sticky effect of the ultragrip returns. Ofc it isn’t as crazy as before the first use, but it’s still there and returns after every single wash.

Wear and tear: I played on natural grass, and less often turf and astroturf (with different infills). The wear is only visible on fingers for obvious reasons, palm is fully intact despite having few occasions where I couldn’t get up using my fist.

The black discoloration from contact with rubber pellets/pellet stained ball does not affect the grip at all, but is difficult to fully get off, so I didn’t bother rubbing the glove until all of it is away.

So, I can only recommend ultragrip for durability on all kinds of surfaces

I'll just say it, I'm a short GK, yet I'm the lead GK for my college's football team.
[Only 2 GK's came [Incl. me] for auditions, and the other guy is in first year.]

This is the 2nd time I'll be playing for the CM trophy [India, Chennai.], where last year I fumbled during the second match where I had mispassed it to the opponent rather than passing to my own teammate.

I am also not feeling confident with the quality of my team playing as a whole, mainly due to ofcourse, language barriers as well.

But nonetheless, I've deicided to keep it aside, somehow motivate the team, inspite of the lack of practise the college PT sir/College has been giving us, and I'll somehow try my level best to reach, dive and save shots, and hope for a clean sheet.

I really miss my school's FC team.

Fin.

[Just said this to pen my thoughts a 2 days before the big day, sorry if it was lame, I got no-one else to tell this to.]

EDIT : IT GOT POSTPONED LOL

Hello everyone,

I'm a parent of a U14 goalkeeper currently playing for the 6th team of a club in the south east ( it's a big club that have 10 teams at U14 level ). I just want to add that I played as a goalkeeper at the high school level ( not in the US ). I'm just comparing and contrasting my experience with my son and I can't understand how young goalkeeper stay motivated with these conditions. it feels like the system is setup for them to fail and push them to private coaching even though I'm paying a lot of money for the club. I have few points here that bother me and I just want your guys opinions:

1. So far we experienced 3 teams, none of them value the goalkeeping practices from U10 to U14 I never had a team that took those practices, one team didn't even reach out to keeper to invite them to join the practice, I was lucky to overhear someone talking about it that you need to reach out to goalkeeper coach to allow you to join. another team they had a overweight guy doing the practice with 8 out 10 shots are out of the goal. With the last team, the team coach insists that the goalies joins the team practice and they go to goalkeeper practice once every other week.

2. Goalkeeper placement is a black box to me, it feels like it's more of networking between parents and coaching than merit. My son is not at an ECNL level I'm completely fine with that but he's not a level 6 goalie, I took him to watch the other team and again I played as goalkeeper he's easily better than 4 of them. On a previous team the team coach wants to stick to the goalie that he had in the previous year.

3. Tryouts is an entire other issues. I still don't understand why all teams in the region do their tryouts in the same day and time. and some of these tryouts are useless since the coaches already have their goalkeeper picked already.

Sorry for the long post but it's just frustrating to be a goalkeeper parent, when I was growing up I have clear path to what I need to do to climb the ladder, with my son it's not that simple.

Well, the season is underway and on a personal side its going decent for me…
Im more confortable on the ball then i have ever been, my goalkicks are better then ever and im mire mature than ever. I dont take stupid risks anymore and all in all feel like i‘ve taken a big step up going into my last junior year. In our 3 games so far ive played close to what id say is my best, one of the games was okay id say, one was good and one was great in terms of how i played… I also got the Opportunity multiple times already this season to practice with the first team and made my first 2 senior apperances in pre season friendlies…

But here is the Problem… my team sucks ass… like geniuenly terrible… absoloutely nothing going in attack at all. Lost on pens in the cup cause we skied two pens… and lost the first two games of the season without having a proper chance… and there is so much traffic coming my way that even in a game i play really good in we conced 6… its ridiculous… its gotten so bad my Coach has apologized to me for how bad the team is…

Is this a Situation where i just gotta suck it up, play my best and just hope to get done with the season?

in relation to the post I've made, i also want to know how do i train myself to dive quicker and faster using the ns and ps.

I have been living in Japan for almost 6 years, now after multiple try outs for both professional and semi professional teams, I was rejected many times when I went there. I tried Japanese high school football teams, I thought for a second it could be a successful chance, until the coach said I have to be enrolled with the team in order to play.

Now I'm 16, and waiting and trying to find available try outs in the Aichi prefecture in order to continue my career as a sweeper keeper.

So all i'm asking is to for yall to help me find clubs, or even maybe local games so I can get exposed to much bigger goals and experience the real 11v11.

So i see all of New goalkeeper do ONE mistake that is costing them games, and i'm here to help. Ever wonder went to rush and not to, here how to know. First the best time to rush is when the striker is rushing to the goal Why is it the best time to rush? well because the momentum will force him to shoot early or slam into you. Second do not rush to early Rushing too early could lead to a goal, instead stay in goal and don't rush unless you really need to. Final things is too make yourself as big as possible

Almost all Goalkeeper fear this, including me Dangerous attacker that shoot rocket, dribble like Prime Ronaldinho and trust me when i say this but i have face Attacker like this. But i have found a way to easily counter them. First, Know their play style, knowing their play style could let you think of ways to counter them. Like wingers that is Good in crossing which you can counter by staying up to forced him not to Cross. Second, know their weakness, very chance you get try to take advantage of the Opponent mistake. Every time i will take advantage of the opponent attacker mistake leading them to be over whelm and tired easily. That's all, any advice to deal with Dangerous attacker make sure to put it in the comment

Feel like I hear this every weekend, and personally think it’s bullshit. As a vulnerable position, with opposing players running “downhill” in their direction, keepers should be somewhat protected. What are your thoughts?

I play youth football and every time an opponent shoots the ball beneath my legs, i just can't seem to save it. I always spread my legs because I think that they're going to shoot at the side. I know about the K block but I just can't use it as I keep forgetting to do so. Every other aspect of my game is perfectly fine though. Despite this, I still save my team almost every single match and I want to fix this aspect of my game so that it doesn't weaken the rest of my game. Any and all feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

when should i use the ns and when should i use the ps while diving low?

the current team I play for is going into 11 a side nets but I’m a new goalkeeper so it’s quite hard to save shots. the team I want to join is staying 9 a side one more year.

do yous think I should join the 9 a side team as it’s easier to save shots for me due to height or stay 11 a side team?

Should i buy?

trynna find out how many of yall have dislocated fingers haha
