Goalkeeper (water polo)

In water polo, the goalkeeper occupies a position as the last line of defense between the opponent's offence and their own team's goal, which is 2.8 m2 (30 sq ft). The goalkeeper position is unique; they possess certain privileges and are subject to different restrictions than those of field players. Accordingly, they possess different skills than those of the field players. Goalkeepers often have longer playing careers than field players because they need mental power rather than physical power. In water polo, the goalkeeper is commonly known as the goalie or keeper and may also be known as the man/woman in the cage. Read by JZCL. Recorded July 19, 2012; the article may have changed since.
