I can't speak from personal experience, but I can tell you that I've seen guys do it. At first, you'll find it tough, especially low shots that require lateral movement, but you'll probably find that you improve dramatically for the first little while before hitting a bit of a plateau. I'd say go for it! Worst case is playing in a C or D league, and that's still a lot of fun. Everybody loves a goalie--you won't have trouble finding a team.
