I'd say somewhere between 5'8'' and 5'10'', but there are several who are around and above 6 ft. At the highest level a 5'7'' female keeper is like a 6'0'' male keeper and is considered 'on the shorter side' but just like with men they're often more agile, better reflex and quicker to get down.

I think the players would be the first to object.

I'm not suggesting 5 a side goals lol
But, even when I'm playing against a proper keeper during 7 a side we use around 3/4 size goals and if you have a decent keeper it's a great size as it's a real challenge. Now 3/4 goals for a professional female keeper would be too small, but even just 4-6 inches lower and say 6-10 inches narrower. Not a massive difference but could improve standards of shooting accuracy and give smaller keepers a chance? It means keepers will be based on skill, and not necessarily size?
