Goalie, or keeper as someone soccer coaches prefer, is the one position
on the team that gets to wear gloves, touch the ball with his or
her hands, and wear a jersey colored differently from the rest of
the team.
Goalie uniforms always include a pair of gloves, to help in stopping
the ball, as well as a distinctly colored jersey, often yellow or
multicolored. Knee length soccer socks are also essential, as they
are for all other positions on the field, to protect the skin from
shin guards.
Always keep your goalie uniforms in your sports bag, or close by
in your car in case the coach calls you to take the position of
goalie. Some team coaches prefer to have goalie uniforms that everyone
wears, and that he or she keeps and gives to the goalie at practices
and games.
Some goalie uniforms are worn over the normal team uniform, but
most are to be worn on their own. That largely depends on the weather
conditions in which the team is playing in, and the temperature.
You can easily find goalie uniforms for children as well as adults
at most sporting gear stores. Make sure to purchase the gloves as
well, as they will make it easier for you to stop and grip the ball.
That extra bulk that gloves add to goalie uniforms are a huge help
in a successful block!
