  • Question
    Can I come off my line as a keeper?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You can go as far as a little past the defensive line if you are a keeper, as long as the ball is on the other side of the field. When the opposing team starts a break-away, you don't want to be the one to lose to the shot.
