A goalkeeper is the only player who can shoot a goal from his goal area, but this case is rare
even at professional levels of handball. The goalkeeper can come forward with the attack, but
outside of the goal area he/she is almost under the same restrictions as court players.
2. Defensive skills
Defensive posture, positioning.
Using hands, legs and torso for saves.
Catching, deflecting and knocking down shots.
The basic posture and position of a goalkeeper within the defensive phase of a game are the
most important skills of the goalkeeper. The position can change according to the physical
characteristics of a pupil (short, tall, robust, etc.). During the defensive phase of the game, it is
important for goalkeepers to remember the following rules:
Maintain good defensive posture with upraised hands.
Stand in front of the goal line.
Position between the goal and the shooting attacker.
Time the action correctly (young players often perform actions before the ball arrives).

Basic position of goalkeeper (low save)
High save of goalkeeper with both hands
Note: The goalkeeper is the last defender to prevent a goal and usually the first attacker
of the team. He/she must be ready to make the first pass (e.g., goalkeeper throw, throw-in,
free throw, etc.) before celebrating a good save. In the defensive phase of the game, the
goalkeeper plays an important role in team communication, because he/she can fully see
the situation before him/her.
