Are goalies typically the kids who can’t cut it in the field?

The point is it’s no longer a position that is just fill the goal up with the biggest body. More and more the goalies are some of if not the most athletic players on the field.

Same goes for male goalies in college. I don’t think you will find an unfit, overweight kid on any college team.

My daughter is a 29, and the two best goalies Ive seen in her age group are very good athletes. The coppermine one is supposed to be an awesome bballer, and I think the m&d one plays in field for field hockey. There are some other good ones who aren’t as athletic, but those two definitely stand out because of their size and athleticism.

You’re a mom? A bit rough around the edges. You can take a lady out of the trailer park but you can’t take the trailer park out of a lady.

Outliers.

The avg womens goalie is 5'6-5'7. Many 5'8 or taller. Height is still a big plus for goalies.

Men’s goalies are usually 6’ + 200lbs.

I would rephrase that to question to read. Are those kids playing in the field because they aren’t athletic or smart enough to play goalie?

He is in 4th, an overall athletic kid with great stick skills and fast hit just really wants to play this position and begged to have the chance in the upcoming season. I mentioned to one or two moms with older kids and their response was about their own kids, said the same thing “Oh Larlo would have played but the team needed him on attack, he was too good” Once or twice ny son stepped in for a tournament when the team needed one and a parent would say “No don’t do that the team needs him to score points” … Is the general reputation for the goalie position that they are kids that aren’t as good on the field?

You are correct. Of course, there are exceptions but in general boys HS goalies come from little dudes who couldn’t handle the physicality of boys field lacrosse and girls HS goalies come from bigger, slower young girls who couldn’t handle the speed. If your kid isn’t that, they can go far as you can see from the local goalies who have gone on to play in college.

Terrible take and not true. All of the top goalies are players that can play in the field. They do play in the field. Talk to Blaze Riorden or Scotty Roger's about that. One plays is the NLL as a field player.

I swore I said that there are exceptions but in general. Blaze Riordan and Scotty Rogers are exceptions. Your kid is tiny.

There's an Ivy goalie listed at 5'7" , 210. A Big Ten goalie at 6'2", 300.

You did a lot of work there when you could've just read the posts. The PP said you can't find an unfit, overweight goalie on any college team. My 1st post on it.

Good job adding nothing to a conversation about kid goalies.

Give me the heights of ask the starting HS goalies in the area and then I’ll change my mind.

You’re using an outlier to make some point about goalies being fat. Which school is anyways?

what do you think the heights of the starting goalies in the area are?

It’s about the same as the rest of the kids on any good Lax team. A range of about 5’9-6’3. On average about 6’.
