[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On to some practical advice for OP ..... how tall is your son likely to be?  Will he want to play travel at a high level, or be a starter on a big HS varsity team?    If he is going to be smallish I would hesitate to have him switch over to goalie, particularly if he is good as a forward.[/quote]

This was my first thought as well!  He is of average height.  His dad is 6’1.  I am 5’5.[/quote]

With parents your size he "should" be more than tall enough to be a goalie in HS.

Average FIFA field player is 5’11”.  Average FIFA goalkeeper 6’2”.[/quote]

What the heck is a FIFA field player or a FIFA goalkeeper?    Are you taking about professionals?   If so, that is not really helpful to OP who is not expecting her son to play professional soccer.,

Just a guess, but I'm pretty sure the average HS goalkeeper is shorter than the average professional goalkeeper.

So adjust accordingly but even at HS a keeper should be around 5'11". My guess is the info provided is simply a frame of reference pro or not.[/quote]
