Built to Put Goalkeepers First

Between The Sticks is not designed to replicate a traditional matchday experience — and it doesn’t need to.

This is a different kind of league, one that puts goalkeepers firmly at the forefront. Here, the goalkeeper is not supporting the game — they are the game.

In a team, goalscorers often take the glory. In Between The Sticks, the goalkeeper does.








A Format That Celebrates the Position

With only one goalkeeper position available in any team, many young keepers rarely get the chance to play consistently in goal. Between The Sticks removes that limitation.

Our goalkeeper wars–style league format allows:

  • Every participant to compete

  • Every moment to matter

  • Goalkeepers to win matches, earn recognition and take the spotlight

    Success here is measured in shot-stopping, composure, decision-making and resilience — the attributes that define the position.










Competition With Prestige

Between The Sticks is about ownership, confidence and recognition.

It gives goalkeepers:

  • A platform to compete

  • The chance to be the winner

  • The opportunity to experience pressure, reward and responsibility — without being overshadowed by outfield goalscorers

This is not about replacing match football.
It’s about giving goalkeepers something they rarely get — the limelight.











Why This Matters

When goalkeepers are valued, recognised and challenged in the right way, confidence grows.

Between The Sticks exists to celebrate the role, elevate the position and create an experience where goalkeepers can own the moment.
