Field Hockey Goalkeeper Recruiting
College coaches evaluate every position differently. Here's what actually matters if you're a goalkeeper player building a recruiting profile, from the stats that carry weight to the film that gets watched.
What Coaches Look For at Goalkeeper
Goalkeepers are evaluated on save percentage and goals against average across a full season. Coaches also want to see clearance accuracy under pressure, since modern field hockey expects keepers to distribute cleanly, not just make saves.
Stats That Matter Most
For goalkeeper recruits, coaches weigh save percentage, goals against average, and clearance accuracy above raw totals alone. As always, the number that actually moves a coach's evaluation is the one they can trust, meaning stats verified by your travel or club coach carry far more weight than self-reported numbers on a resume.
