RE: competive Under 15

alan of dublin, dublin ireland asks...

can you have 2 goal keepers

Answer provided by Referee Richard Dawson

only one keeper per team on the field at a time, spares on the bench are fine! Any player can become a keeper but first must notify referee at a stoppage and switch jersey. Cheers
