Running the ball baseline

Running the ball baseline

The goalie is the last line of defense The goalie can use the end line as a defender as seen in the next sequence of photos where the ball carrier runs the ball too close to the base line and the goalie is able to intercept the back pass The receiver should have moved back and to the right so that the goalies stick is taken out of the equation. The offensive player in front of the goalie should have stayed back one meter.
