I just had a game and played against a more experienced futsal keeper. He recommended not playing with regular gloves, but rather to wear a pair of gym gloves, just to protect the palms. Do you guys consider this to be a viable option? I feel like it's somewhat risky seeing as I have gotten a few sprains in my fingers over the previous season

My daughter is 12 years old and is the goalkeeper for her team. Any ideas on cool Christmas gifts for goalkeepers/ soccer players in general? Also she needs work on her punting. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the weekly purchase advice thread.

All questions about what gloves to buy should now be posted in this thread. Below are some general guidelines for what information to supply when asking for advice.

Advice seekers:

• What level you play at
• What your budget is
• What types of gloves you've had before and whether you liked them
• Is this a glove for matches, training, or both?
• Anything else that will help other keepers give you advice
• What country/region you're based in (for glove availability/shipping reasons)

Advice givers:

While this isn't required, we recommend also sharing what level you play at and a little about your glove preference when giving advice.

This thread will be refreshed on Monday of each week.

Hi , I’m a short GK so I can’t perform a high dive properly or i stay fixed even thought i predict it going top bins its like my feet are glued to the grass . Plus , i’m not consistent with distribution with my feet , one game i’m very good the next one i’m bad . So if anyone has any piece of advice it would much appriciated

As the title says. I'm a new, albeit pretty decent goalkeeper. For the winter, my team is competing in a futsal league. I've had to good games, but one shot I'm already struggling with are powerful ones that are just below knee height close to either side. You're too close to dive, but it's too high up to make a foot save. What would you guys say is the best technique for those types of shots?

As I said in my previous post my team was founded in the summer. Since then we secured two draws but lost the other matches. Today we faced one of our rival teams in the table at home and we finaly got a 3:0 win.

✅️ : first win ever in club history of a womans team. ✅️ : first clean sheet for myself since i started playing in summer.

I know for most of the keepers on this sub one win isn't that special but i feel so amazing and happy and proud of our team today, it is crazy 🙏🏻♥️

Is donarumma good? Everyone says he's overrated but I think when every I watch him he's brilliant what do u think?

Any tips on glove cleaning, I'm pretty good with my glove care and always have been, making sure to get them washed as early as possible after a game I always have a t least 2 pairs one for training and one for games and at the minute I even have some harsher condition gloves for the winter months. But I always struggle when washing them to get the water to be completely clear it's always got a sligh brown tint to it, am I doing something wrong or is that just how it is?

Are these gloveglu gloves worth it? I saw it was pretty cheap.

Any tips or tricks to build up your weak foot. Right now mine is quite uncoordinated and weak.

As i’ve played more and more and improved my high diving has gotten better but I can’t seem to shake this problem I have with low dives. It’s like I flop down instead of sliding to the ball. Is there any advice or tips anyone has to fix this? Thank you

Not going to playing the upcoming season and was just wondering what the best way of storing my new gloves are. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance

So I purchased my first Order with them since I heard good things about them here and from friends on Friday last week. I haven’t got any email with a tracking number besides an email giving me confirmation through Amazon pay that my order was completed and showed amount charged and the order id. And it was radio silence after that. So is it normal for them to do this to international buyers? I tried emailing them twice yesterday and nothing still.

Recently broke my pinky and I’m hoping to get back to playing in goal after the new year once my hand is fully healed and was wondering if anyone’s been in this position and what you may have done that did or didn’t help getting back to playing.

Would love to see a trend starting with all your goalie gloves in one picture with a little background on the gloves. The green precisions were my second ever pair, and the sondicos are when I actually started taking goalkeeping seriously and joined a proper team. My first ever 'proper' pair of keeper gloves were the white kalieers, about 70 euro. They have since been retired, and the yellow kalieers are my current match gloves. The nikes are my current training gloves, but I think Im going to swap the for the uhlsports I bought on the cheap yesterday. Im only playing keeper seriously about 2 and a half years, so I rekon some other keepers on this sub reddit would have much bigger, more impressive collections. Would love to see them!

I cant seem to catch curved shots as they just slip out of my hands

I have been very good and getting better and better with my high diving but i can’t see to shake this problem where when I do a low dive to my side I seem to sort of flop down slowly instead of sliding down. Is there any sort of advice that I could have to fix this issue? Thank you.

Guys just want to know, i believe these gloves are banned right?, but what if you put tape on these gloves like courtois did, then will you be able to use them professionally?

I have a fair understanding of how many and where to set up my wall, but what players go into the wall? Do I put taller players in at shooting distance and shorter ones for farther ones so taller players can challenge for the cross? Unless I specifically call out names no one except our captain will actually join the wall no matter how much I yell.

I just got these gloves (shoutout to the guy who gave the 20% off code GINO20 for anyone wondering) and was wondering what I should be doing before and after using them to keep them going as long as possible. this is my first decent pair so I wanna maintain them properly. any advice is appreciated :)

I am a 15 year old goalkeeper playing at an u17 level for a 2nd division team. This season I wanted to do a little extra strenght training on my own. The trainings are done at home without any fittness equipmen (just bodyweight).I do it 3-4 times per week. It mostly consists of core and leg exercises. Each training takes me around 20min. I am wondering:

1. Is 20min even enough
2. Do I have to feel sore for there to be improvments
3. If any, what equipment should i use
4. Are there any other thing I could improve/focus on or are there any special exercises I should do?

Thank you
