Which wasn't the question.

Let me put it this way: There is no restriction on going anywhere on the field you want to (given that you're under 5' in height, and the laws of physics). However, for a shot to get points, as coolcade pointed out, you have to be between the truss and your target goals to score.

As for the size of the goalie zone, I think some looking at the field drawings will show the size to be about 2.5' wide (give or take a bit, I'm going from memory and I remember seeing a couple of different numbers). Basically, anything between your targeted low goals is goalie zone.
