SET POSITION
The Goalkeepers Set Position
The first basic stance for the Goalkeeper to learn is the ‘set position’. It is important that the Goalkeeper is comfortable in ‘their’ set position. They should be alert and ready to move into the line of the ball, balanced, with the body weight forward on the ball of the foot ‘nose over toes’.
