[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reason these short keepers are around is because of a couple reasons. First is there aren't that many tall women, so they get what they can get. There's no drive to bring tall girls into club soccer like you see with volleyball and basketball. If you're tall, the coaches (and parents even) hound you to play. Second is most keepers are practice keepers. In practice where they get 1000x more shots than in-game they fly around and know where the ball is coming from. In an actual game where they don't know the ball's direction, they kick save and fly awkwardly to the ball long after it's by them. Watch replays, they look ridiculous diving towards nothing. I watch the taller girls command the box easily. It's coming, taller women will break-out and coaches will start to understand it DOES matter in the women's game.[/quote] I always say it’s better to be a keeper in a top league on the worst team. You get a lot more action in games !!![/quote]
