The Goalkeeper and Her Circle


Listen Later

This episode focuses strictly on Rule 7: Goal Circle, Goalkeeper and Deputy rules. Host Karen Blaine explains why this position is so unique that it warrants its own separate rules. She details what the goalie is allowed to do while in her circle, and how her player status changes when she decides to come out of her circle. Also discussed are the definition and rules regarding the deputy and the special free position  setup for when a deputy commits a goal circle violation. 

Lastly, we will learn how to set up free positions for when the goalie commits a major foul (including cardable fouls), a minor foul or a goal circle violation. These setups can vary depending on the spot of the ball and the goalie’s status; whether she is in, out or partially in the circle.
