[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couple quick questions:

When do ECNL teams start carrying two goalies? U15ish?

And when they do, do they usually split game time, or is there a clear #1 and clear #2?

Most ECNL clubs I have seen carry two keepers at all ages (U13 and up). Any coach worth his salt will know to split playing time pretty much down the middle except for championship games. To do otherwise messes with a GK's confidence level.  At our club, there are times when games are split at half time, and there are other times where they alternate full games.[/quote]

Only difference on our team is that the "starter" plays the second half instead in games which might be decided by penalties.[/quote]

Agree with this.  Top keeper is second half.[/quote]

Top Keeper is Top Keeper.   The position is very similar to pitchers, the strongest, most consistent start and then bring in various talents as the game progresses.  It varies every season and with performance.  The mix of playing time is up to the coach and is strategy.

That isn't the way they do it at all.  Almost universal that top keeper gets second half.  And there is no mix of playing time.  Only choice is who gets which half.[/quote]
