For high school or amateur soccer. My son is a goalie and was tackled again last night behind the play which as usual the mfers waived off. When is it ever legal to tackle the goalie in the box. I thought that was automatic yellow card. I know there was updated concussion protocol and added protection for goalies mandated by the national organization but here in South Alabama and I am sick of it

Whenever he is dribbling the ball. And when the keeper is going great for a 50-50 ball that he isn't diving for.

In the rulebook for whatever league your son plays for, but it's going to say more about what a keeper can't do than any protections for a keeper.

What do you mean "tackled behind the play", what happened exactly?


ps - the short answer is there are no special rules protecting a GK. He has no more or less protection than any other player on the field. It's a dangerous position obviously.
