How do i play goalie?

Hey cherrycola,\n\n     Here are my tips:\n\n     1) Know the rules, and the basics: Goalies can use their hands inside their box, with the exception of a) when his teammate passes the ball to him with his foot, and b) when he is outside the box.\n\n     2) Be aggressive. The best goalies are hands on and take charge goalies. They are the boss of the Box, and take seriously the fact THEY are the last man standing when a goal opportunity presents itself.\n\n     3) Be willing to endure pain. As a goalie, you will have to dive to block incoming shots and land roughly, jump to punch balls away or grabbing them, bumping into players occasionally, especially opposing ones. Finally, you will get roughed up when you charge an advancing forward, all by him self -- the one-on-one situation.\n\n     4) Polish up your reflexes, but more important, your positioning under the 3 goal posts. Watch videos of the great goalies and watch their footwork and positioning during key offensive situations. Watch how they dive (a dying art in my opinion. Goalies today have lost that flare and acrobatics that made goalie an attractive position in the first place. \n\n     5) Know your own personal weaknesses and strengths. Are you too short? Too Tall? Great on on-on-one but weak in the air? Bossy? Too dependent? Find out, compensate, and build on it.\n\nWell, Cherrycola, I hope this helps. Take care

First off you need to get the goalie used to diveing and hitting the dirt.  To start have the goalie stand on her knees and fall to the left and right as you kick the soccer ball progressively harder at her.\n\nStretching is a big part of it too.  The first half hour should be for stretching the back, hams, shoulders, etc.\n\nGoalie position is also key.  Have her know at all times where the goal posts are (as a diving save can lead to a head injury if she doesn't).\n\nThen when the goalie is used to falling on her sides, test her with real penalty kicks.\n\nGood luck.

if u r a goalie. keep the ball down and then at the bottom of the ground and where there is a small gap between the ball and then ground just ,make  a slight depression on that piece and slice the ball from that point. and u will ur dream come true. if u r not goalie then try chipping  the ball with ur tip of the toe( please do wear boots while doing this or any shoes, not with slippers and stuff) or else kick it with ur side leg that covers a part of thumb joint and the side part. this method will give u double the speed than the previous one but u 'll have to get used to it.

use your toes with the right foot to step over and push the ball to the left and feint to the right...at the same time stepping over with your left to exaggerate going to the right... \n\n...now the ball is a foot(12 inches) away from the outside of your left foot...flick it left fwd and away from defender...and go left...\n\nyou need to swivle hips so they fall for your fakes...good luck

goalie in indoor all depends on what kind of indoor place you are playing. Look up the rules and see if there are any special limitations at the place you will be playing. Also be prepared to be scored on a lot.  Indoor is a much faster and higher scoring game so do not feel bad.

Get low, don't aim low. If you dive at their shoetops (or knees), they are going to truck you.\n\nGet someone on your team your size or smaller to help you practice. Stand facing each other from 20 feet away, and then you kneel down. Have them walk slowly towards you with the ball as if they were going to pass you (on either side). Plant your shoulder into their hip, head behind them, face up, wrap your arms, and then roll to take them down. If they come straight towards you, you won't be able to roll; wrap just the same but fall backwards and drag them down as you do. Keep repeating until you're comfortable, and then start increasing the speed. \n\nWhen you're comfortable at speed, start working on exploding your shoulder up into them. As you wrap behind their legs, the effect should be to lift them off the ground. If you do lift them up, drive them back down into the ground to complete the hit. How much you can practice that is going to depend on your teammates' tolerance. \n\nOnce you're comfortable with all that from your knees, work on getting into a similar position standing. Some people will actually touch a knee to the ground before contact; some people are comfortable getting into a low squat. Making contact with someone big, 95% of the time, whomever gets lower will win. Play around with what stance both allows you to feel comfortable and allows you to explode forward. \n\nOnce you have that down, the trick is getting into position during a game. It's tough in open play, and most of the tackles will be stopping them however you can. Pursuing a kick, get there fast but under control, so you can get to your tackling stance when you need. Around the scrum, the hits tend to be better lined up, but with the crowd, clean hits are rare. But they're worth it when you get them.\n\nIf someone bigger than you takes a run at you, use the same technique, but rather than exploding, just wrap and drag them down. Make the tackle, don't be a hero.

Usually stick side....but i have played against some goalies that are weaker on their glove side, but i guess it just really depends on the goalie.

Well first of all, keep it wrapped in ice as much as possible to keep it from swelling and making things even harder.  Also, before the game ice it again to keep it a little numb. Before u put the gloves on, tape it a little to keep it from moving to much, and geting unconfortable. After you have put your gloves on, even though its not recomended for a goalie since you depend on your reach, tape your pointer and middle finger together, so that it stays imobilized, and that way you´ll protect your finger as much as possible, and compromise your goalkeeping as little as possible.  But keep in mind, that neither your finger will be protected nor will your goalkeeping be unaffected, you must find a half way point, because things will change.  You have to compromise to a confortable point.

Practice and experience.\nI was given a little trick to learn well.\nGo stand on the goal line at a local football field (preferably when nobody is around).  The grass is usually cut low enough to be similiar to a light rough.  Then just hit out some balls and track where they land - mark your shortest, your longest and your average.\nDo that with each club until you have a good idea of the distances.  Write it down and you can keep it in your bag to refer to when you are out on the course.

The best way to get faster? Run\nThe best way to improve in soccer? Play and watch soccer.\n\nTrainning is the key, trust me. In two years I went from nothing to a good goalkeeper, and after two years without trainning, I'm crappy

When your playing soccer its all about the fun so dont worry about the score or scoring just have FUN! dont use your hands only on throw-ins or of your goalie. also if you wanna score alot of goals you should be a FORWARD as a position, its how i score 2 or 3 goals each game. dont be scared of the ball and dont kick with your toe (front of shoe) becuase it hurts! you might kick it high, but it hurts. just kick the ball on the sho laces of your shoes. try not to be rough in soccer because you might get kicked out of the game. SO GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

To train my legs as a goalie i put pieces of plywood on the ground and jump them one at a time or in session with either both feet or just one. Very rough on the legs to start but it pays off on the ice. Skipping is deffinately a good drill to train with.
