I don't know anything about hockey, but "charging the goalie" sounds like deliberately hitting the goalie in order to prevent them from making a play. This is also illegal in soccer. A player can "screen" the keeper (for example, stand directly in from of them on a corner kick) but you can't just charge into them.
In baseball, players would deliberately slam into the catcher in hopes of dislodging a ball that the catcher already has, right? This is also illegal in soccer.
It’s soccer, as long as you are playing the ball it’s ok. If another player or keeper happens to get in your way as you dribble the ball towards the goal then you can run into or over them. If you make a deliberate play against the player instead of the ball it’s a foul.

Soccer player here. You can’t charge the goalie. Goalies are sacred. You can follow a shot, run in—put no contact. Must stop short. It’s beem that way since I played and in my 12 and 15-year olds games. It still stands. I’ve seen players carded for tackling/touching the goalie.

The keeper on my sons team is very aggressive coming out. He takes out an opposing player at least every other game. Other teams parents always yell and complain. The official usually just says play on or warns the other player not to run into the keeper. Ive seen some teams hesitate to make runs in the box afterwards. Our coach always praise the Keeper sayin "own your box".

Agreed. Wish they would change the rule so no charging the goalie ever - inadvent or not. New rule: Don’t go near the goalie. Some of these kids are running at the goalie on purpose so the goalie doesn’t pick up the ball. No skill involved, not even trying to dribble around or take a real shot. Very bad sportsmanship.
A rule change would make the game safer and drastically reduce injuries, just like for catchers in baseball.
Keepers are really only protected once they get the ball. Until then it’s wide open. Knocking down a player is allowed unless it’s a clear foul such as tripping, shoving, etc...
It’s tough being a keeper, the defense should not let them get in that 1-1 situation.

Should the goalie brace themselves for the collision? Go down for ball with feet first? My goalie braced himself (like a football player) and charging player flipped up and over him. Ball went in the goal and goalie was warned. I think that’s a bad call. Self-defense.

Players can contest with keepers for possession of the ball. A keeper shouting "MINE!" doesn't mean that anyone has to back off. That includes being allowed to run directly "at" the keeper, assuming that the ball is in between the two players.
Once the keeper is in possession, players can't touch him. That doesn't mean that it doesn't happen, usually inadvertently. Being a good keeper is not for the faint of heart.

When the keeper has possession, that’s it.
And yes, coach in game that I reffed, the keeper has possession with one hand and the ground ,,,
A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when:
the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms, except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save

Yes there are rules. The GK needs to learn techniques to protect themselves, though. Flagrant fouls aren’t the only reason a kid can get hit and sometimes it is tough for a ref to know the difference.

You can’t do that to a field player. What makes you think it’s different for a goalie? Goalies are much more protected than field players.

Are players permitted to purposefully run full speed at the goalie and collide with them? Baseball had a rule change that no longer allows collisions at the plate with the catcher and it makes the game safer. What’s the rule for soccer?
