Q: Can my child be both a field player and goalkeeper at camp?
A: Yes. Please note that your child will be grouped with the goalkeepers in the beginning of camp and needs to discuss with her coach what sessions she will be a field player.

To get the full benefit of the goalkeeper training CFSA suggests being a full-time goalkeeper if it is going to be your regular position.
