Goalkeeper Catching A High Ball Coloring Page

A ball is dropping out of the sky and this young keeper has gone up to meet it. Both arms stretch high, both hands wear padded gloves with wide cuffs, and the ball sits at the very top of the page just above the crown of the head. Keepers are taught to take a high ball at the highest point they can reach, which is exactly the moment drawn here. The jersey carries a blank rectangle on the chest and the sleeves stop above the elbow. Shorts, socks and laced boots complete the strip. Keepers wear a different color from everyone else on the field so the referee can pick them out instantly, so this is the one player sheet where a clashing color is the correct answer rather than a mistake. Pick something loud for the jersey and keep the gloves in a second, quieter shade. The face is drawn open and smiling with room for a light skin tone. Plenty of white paper surrounds the raised arms, which keeps the pose readable even when a young child colors well outside the lines.
