For those that don't know, keepers are the players that defend the goal hoops. It is their job to stay in front of the hoops and within the scoring area. They are generally the heaviest players on the team!

keepers weren’t always a part of quidditch. Also, in the past they were allowed to move anywhere in the pitch. They were even allowed to score goals! Nowadays, keepers have a scoring area that they must stay within and they cannot score goals. They are allowed to leave the scoring area if they are chasing off a passer.

keepers wear a lot of gear as well! They will often wear a helmet, shoulder pads and knee pads since they can get hurt. keepers are usually athletic and have good reflexes and hand-eye coordination.

Ill tell you a few tricks to being a good keeper before we move on to the next position. First is the double eight loop. This means that a keeper flies around the goal hoops to block the ball. The second one is the starfish and stick. This is when a keeper uses one arm and one leg to hold their broom and lets their other limbs hang. This allows a keeper to block the quaffle from getting into the hoops! Its also a very risky move since it can be hard to get back on your broom and you could fall!
