Yes, my Dad was a goalie for years for his local amateur team (and secretary for the league).
At most secondary schools, girls will learn (field) hockey and netball. Boys will learn rugby and football (soccer). At ours, once you reached 14 you could choose a bit more what you learned. Boys could learn hockey and many of them did. They were usually surprised to discover that brute strength wasn't enough.
