'''Keeper''' is a position in the Wizarding sport of [[Quidditch]]. There is one Keeper per team, and it is their job to guard the three goal posts attempting to stop the other team's [[Chaser]]s from scoring. The keeper also wears the most protection than any other position, which includes a helmet, shoulder/chest pads and knee pads. This effectively makes them heavier than most of their other team-mates; as a result, keepers are typically well-built and athletic players who usually stick close to the goal posts where they can deploy their defensive skills to their fullest capacity.

==History of the Keeper==
 
The position of the Keeper has existed since around the [[13th century]], although the role has changed somewhat over time. The Keeper was essentially a Chaser, with the added responsibilities of guarding the posts. However, with the addition of the scoring zone in [[1620s|1620]], Keepers generally kept inside this area in order to prevent the opposition from scoring. Keepers are only allowed out of this area to head off incoming Chasers.
