How to avoid getting chipped?
First of all, excuse possible grammar mistakes.
I (22F) recently started playing football with some friends, pretty amateur level, just a bunch of people who get together 2x a week to play.
As no one wanted to be in goal, I've offered myself and ended up liking it. I think I'm fairly decent for our level, but I am pretty short (1,61m/5ft3). I conced chip shot goals quite often. Either because I'm to high on the pitch and I jump but can't get to the ball or because I misread the situation and think the ball is not going in.
Does anyone have any tips to avoid this? Positioning tips, exercises I can practice, etc.
Thanks! :)
